Description

Restored Bauhaus building by famous architect Walter Gropius, former home of the school that founded modernism, in Dessau, Germany

The Bauhaus building in Dessau-Roßlau, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, Designed by the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius in 1925 and 1926, commissioned by the city of Dessau. It's a Unesco World Heritage site since 1996. The Bauhaus school building opened in 1926 after the National Socialists drove the school out of Weimar in 1924. In 1932 the National Socialists gained the majority in the Dessau city council and closed the school. The seven years in Dessau between 1925 and 1932 are considered the heyday of the Bauhaus.

The Bauhaus was hugely influential on art and design in the 20th century, and remains so today. The school's pioneering approach to teaching combined instruction in crafts and the fine arts—a radical notion at the time. Having emigrated to the United States from Nazi Germany by way of England, Gropius chaired the Graduate School of Design's Department of Architecture at Harvard University from 1937 until 1952. In the late '40s, alongside curator Charles Kuhn, he began to assemble an archive by requesting donations from Bauhaus colleagues, teachers, and artists who had also come to the U.S., including Anni and Josef Albers, Lyonel Feininger, and László Moholy-Nagy.
