The Bauhaus Transferzentrum.DESIGN e.V. is located in the Neufert-Haus in Weimar-Gelmeroda and gives consultation for design projects and product development. Working with the Bauhaus University Weimar ensures that the BTD transfers ideas from research and art into practice and production. Particular attention is given to the sustainable networking of clients from industry and politics sectors with those from the creative industries. With the »Bauhaus.Atelier | Info Shop Café« the BTD operates in the former Bauhaus canteen which still functions as a central contact point for all guests of the Bauhaus University Weimar. This is also the ideal starting point for “Bauhaus Tours” which explore the historical and contemporary Bauhaus University in Weimar. Besides coffee and cold drinks the shop offers numerous books, exceptional souvenirs and innovative products.
