BNFVC Notes

Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 and closed by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus school of design, craftsmanship and architecture revolutionised modern design. Establishing a relationship between design and industry, "Bauhaus" became synonymous with rationalised, sharp-edged, machine-based style. The programme looks at the development of the Bauhaus and at key figures involved in it, as well as setting its history in the context of political unrest and economic chaos of the Weimar Republic.
