The Bauhaus

(1919-1933)

The Bauhaus was a German school of art, design, and architecture founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. It brought together artists, craftspeople, and architects to rethink the relationship between creativity, technology, and everyday life. Its philosophy challenged traditional boundaries and established a new approach to modern design. Bauhaus designs combine art, craft and function.
