The !BAUHAUS!

The Bauhaus was a school of craft and fine arts that was located in Germany. The genius architect behind this modern architecture was Walter Gropius. Gropius was also the director of the school or founder. Bauhaus literally means " School of Building" in German. Besides the literal name the Bauhaus became the most influential building in Modern Architecture and Design. The Bauhaus was simple yet modern and the fact that no one had never seen anything like the Bauhaus before made it a success and influence to the world of architecture and design.

An interesting fact about the Bauhaus was that it became the most filmed and photographed building in Europe! Literally everyone wanted a look at the Bauhaus and its modern design. Students could easily communicate from their balconies that were specifically designed for this reason. But, one problem remained: Where would the Masters and Gropius stay? The simple solution Gropius thought of was to build a housing building a few yards away. The Bauhaus was filled with students and staff learning of art and design. The Bauhaus today is still as famous as it was in the 1920's because of its' modernized design and architecture.
