Bauhaus Architecture Guide

Bauhaus architecture emerged from the school founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 — a fusion of art, craft, and technology that sought to redesign everyday life. The catalogue holds 5 Bauhaus buildings, with key works in Dessau-Roßlau and Berlin.

The Dessau Bauhaus building itself — with its iconic glass curtain wall wrapping the workshop wing — remains the movement's architectural manifesto. In Berlin, the Horseshoe Settlement by Taut and Wagner and the Bauhaus-Archiv by Gropius extend the vocabulary into housing and cultural architecture. Geometric purity, flat roofs, and industrialised building components define the style.
