FOUNDED by renowned architect Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, the Bauhaus — literally “house of construction” in German — was initially conceived with the idea of creating an academy where all the arts would coexist.
Experimental, and with the emphasis on the theoretical, the Bauhaus represented an opportunity to extend beauty and quality to every home through well-designed and industrially produced products and structures.
The Bauhaus style went on to become one of the most influential currents in design, modernist architecture and art, and architectural education and ever since it has had a profound influence upon developments in those spheres, as well as in graphic, interior and industrial design and typography.
