Origins & History
The Bauhaus was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany in 1919. The school aimed to reunite creativity and manufacturing, bridging the gap between art and industrial production.
Influential teachers included Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, and Josef Albers. The school moved to Dessau in 1925 and later to Berlin before being closed by the Nazis in 1933.
The Bauhaus legacy profoundly influenced modern architecture, product design, and graphic design. Its principles of functionality, simplicity, and the integration of art with technology remain foundational to contemporary design education.
