Joost Schmidt (1893–1948) was a visionary typographer and graphic designer who was a teacher at the Bauhaus and later a professor at the College of Visual Arts, Berlin.
Mechanical stage design by Joost Schmidt 1925.
Re-discovering some posters from Joost Schmidt that spotlights the mechanical stage concepts; they show an attempt to use the technical infrastructure of the stage not only to support human performers but to make the stage technology itself perform.
By re-visiting, re-building, and realizing the original graphic logic, the project positions itself as a living continuation of Bauhaus experimental modernism rather than a static historical reference.
The idea here is to realize this concept in an actual physical form to live and experience it three-dimensionally not only a 2D graphic poster as if the Bauhaus;
re-visited. re-born. re-built re-cycled. re-novated. REALIZED.
This design operates as a contemporary homage to Joost Schmidt and the Bauhaus ethos, translating a historically two-dimensional graphic language into a spatial, experiential system. Where the original Bauhaus works often functioned as visual propositions for modern life, this reinterpretation advances the agenda by materializing the graphic into performative architecture.
The design does not merely reference Bauhaus aesthetics; it attempts to operate according to Bauhaus methodology.
