Architecture firm [Studio 06](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mkg) created a conceptual rooftop display of colorful kites that will act at the ceiling for the [Bauhaus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-en-rogue) Museum Dessau. This architecturally detailed idea will present a vivid display of [kite-like roof panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cygnet-light). Each panel will be brightly colored in order to draw the attention of tourists and passersby.

The ultimate goal for this rooftop display is to create a functioning roof while simultaneously providing a practical ceiling design. The inspiration for this roofing came from Bauhaus' annual kite festival known as 'Drachenfest.'

By incorporating the rich and beautiful history of Bauhaus into a massive piece of the Bauhaus Museum Dessau, this architectural project is given a greater meaning. This whimsical display of kites will emphasize the excitement within the museum and will appeal to fans of the design movement.
