Description

In his third and last contribution within the Bauhausbucher series, the founder and long-standing director of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, gives a comprehensive overview of the Bauhaus in Dessau. In addition to a brief outline of the origins and development of the school, Gropius presents the architectural design of the new Bauhaus building and the associated Masters' Houses with the help of photographic documentary evidence and planning sketches. In the book, he traces the technical planning development with extreme precision and provides an insight into the design practice of the "Bauhausler." Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in 1919 as a new type of art school that combined life, craft and art under one roof. Gropius, a pioneer of modern architecture, managed the Bauhaus as its director until 1928. He emigrated to the United States in 1934, where he taught as a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge.
