Tecta is synonymous with Bauhaus thought in a contemporary key, based in Lauenförde, on the curved banks of the Weser. It is in the Tecta studio in this town that the design avant-gardes have followed one another for over 40 years: the British architect Smithson, the architect of Mies van der Rohe, Sergius Ruegenberg, Jean Prouvé, the designer Stefan Wewerka and Ati Gropius, the daughter of the founder of the Bauhaus.
