Bauhaus

From 1919 to 1933, in Weimar, Dessau and then Berlin, the Bauhaus (literally, 'house of construction') was much more than just a professional school of a new genre-it was a modern Utopia. Painters, teaching specialists, architects, urban planners, artisans, engineers, actors, musicians, photographers and designers worked together there on a new concept of everyday life. An experimental style became dominant-bare, functional and scrupulously clear-the style of the 20th century.
