Visitors enter the museum’s spacious entrance hall from the street – or from the adjacent Weimarhallenpark via a large terrace on the lower level. The entrance hall is the starting point for all the main routes through the museum. Visitors gain orientation by means of a cascading staircase positioned within an ingeniously structured coordinate system. Thanks to the horizontal and diagonal lines of view in relation to the adjacent rooms, visitors can quickly recognise the functions of the individual areas. The floor and walls of the hall correspond to the materiality and haptic quality of the exterior concrete base of the museum.
The Klassik Stiftung and city of Weimar launched an architectural competition for the establishment of the Bauhaus Museum Weimar in 2011. A total of 536 architecture offices submitted their proposals.
On 15 March 2012 the jury awarded second prizes to Johann Bierkandt (Landau) and the architects HKR (Klaus Krauss and Rolf Kursawe, Cologne). Two third prizes were awarded to Prof. Heike Hanada with Prof. Benedict Tonon (Berlin) and Bube/ Daniela Bergmann (Rotterdam).
In the subsequent procurement procedure for freelance services (VOF-procedure), the design concept by the Berlin-based architect Prof. Heike Hanada with Prof. Benedict Tonon received final approval.
