New developments for infrastructure and supply significantly shaped the Modernist architecture. Supplying the growing cities with buildings for electrification, for employment offices, for health care or for culture such as theatres or cinemas required another architectural approach. Technical developments in building technology influenced architecture to a great extent, for example with the equipment with modern heating, air conditioning, elevators or telephone.

Preserving this architecture with its special features is a challenge today. The technical equipment of individual buildings can also significantly determine the architecture.

These elements, which correspond to the ideas and regulations of the time, should be retained as essential components of the architecture, but they don’t meet today’s requirements and regulations. For the preservation of the architecture the infrastructure and the supply technology of the modern age, the exact documentation and the identification of the essential characteristics of modern architecture is a basis for correct preservation.

“Despite its surface rhetoric of rationality, clarity and efficiency, and smooth surfaces, the Bauhaus was never straightforward. Bauhauslers were engaged with everything that escapes rationality: sexuality, violence, esoteric philosophies, occultism, disease, the psyche, pharmacology, extraterrestrial life, artificial intelligence, chance, the primitive, the fetish, the animal, plants, etc. The Bauhaus was in fact a veritable cauldron of perversions.”
