Label TextIn House Fantasia, a later enlargement of a Bauhaus project from 1922, Weininger translates the De Stijl vocabulary into architectural form. The design is composed of overlapping square panels, emphasizing the two-dimensional frontality of the building. Different colors are used to articulate the space. Balance is achieved through the De Stijl principle of "dynamic equilibrium" in which unequal elements are placed to create an asymmetrical, yet harmonious relationship.
