The most dominant force in Contemporary Design, with the shortest life span. German Architect and Designer Walter Gropius was the founder. He combined two schools, the Art Academy and the school of Arts and Crafts of Weimar in Germany in 1919. The school was noted for a program that synthesised technology, craftsmanship and design aesthetics. Like the Arts and Crafts Movement before it, the Bauhaus aimed to reform the making of everyday objects, but rather than rejecting technology and the machine, they embraced industrial production.
The architecture, design, craft, and fine art school established by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, transferred to Dessau in 1925, and finally moved to BERLIN IN 1932. It closed in 1933 under increasing political interference. Its influence was worldwide, providing the most coherent statement of architectural modernism, primary through functionalist principles.

a German style of architecture begun by Walter Gropius in 1918
Influential German art and design school that was founded in Dessau between the two world wars, 1919 - 1933.

Bauhaus is taken from the contraction of two German words: bauen (to build) and Haus (house) meaning "House of Building". Bauhaus is a style of 20th-century design taking its name from the German school of architecture founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883-1969).

He was 35 years old when he was appointed Director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Weimar, Germany. One of his first decisions was to combine this school with the School of Arts and Crafts and rename the new institution the "Bauhaus".
