Product Description

Product Description
Walter Gropius created the Bauhaus building in 1925/26. During the few years of its original use as a school with studios, until it was closed down by the Nazis in 1932, it had also become a centre of crystallization for the creative forces of its times. Today, the Dessau Bauhaus Foundation again makes the famous building, which has been undergoing extensive restoration since 1997, a centre for cultural activities: numerous projects and events at the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Bauhaus' foundation in Weimar (1999) and the EXPO 2000 will provide the building with more public attention. This text documents all phases of the Bauhaus Building's history, use and constructive changes. The authors looks at its meaning for contemporary architecture, culture and politics, and describes its history during the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the GDR and up to the late 1990s. The themes range from the first architectural design to the future of the Bauhaus as a monument.

First Sentence
The first issue of the magazine bauhaus, the organ of the new Hochschule fur Gestaltung Bauhaus Dessau, which had moved to Dessau in March 1925, appeared on 4 December 1926, on the same day that the Bauhaus staff who had come from Weimar "ceremoniously" opened their new premises, the new Bauhaus building.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on the Bauhaus, 24 May 2008

By	lil-d1985 (UK) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to write my dissertation and now 2 years after completing it, this book still sits proudly on my bookshelf. This book in my opinion is the best book about the Bauhaus. It takes you through the history of the Bauhaus and also covers basics about some of the external influences of the school. The text is well written and the photographs are very clear with lots of them!

If you're interested in the subject, buy this book and you won't be disappointed!
