Supplemental context
The Bauhaus was a changing school, not simply a collection of geometric shapes or a single architectural style. Its foundation in Weimar in 1919 brought together art and craft education under Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation describes preliminary study of form and colour, workshop practice and a later shift toward prototypes for industrial production. Different directors altered priorities, while political pressure forced moves and ultimately closure under National Socialism. Future readers could learn about the relationship between teaching, making, industry and political power. Preserving student work and curricula alongside celebrated buildings would show how ideas were tested and revised within an institution, rather than treating modern design as the achievement of one founder alone.
Creator/community: Bauhaus teachers and students; directors Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Place/era: Germany; Weimar 1919–1925, Dessau 1925–1932, Berlin 1932–1933
