Bauhaus

The Bauhaus – an art school that has become synonymous with the architecture and design of classic modernism – was founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany. The leaders of the school included Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. They all worked together to develop a holistic concept that combines art and design, craftsmanship and technology. Winfried Nerdinger is incredibly knowledgeable about the central ideas and the form of teaching of Bauhaus and this study engages with the most important people and products as well as the political and economic contexts.
