House Gropius: Bauhaus Masterpiece by Walter Gropius

Walter Gropius designed House Gropius in 1926 in Dessau, Germany, as part of the Bauhaus faculty housing. This iconic structure embodies Bauhaus principles: functionality, simplicity, and modern materials like steel and glass. Its geometric forms, asymmetric layout, flat roofs, open floor plan, and large windows broke from traditional German architecture. The house served as Gropius's residence and a showcase of Bauhaus ideals, integrating art, technology, and industry.

Whatever else one might think of Walter Gropius—the pioneering German architect who founded the Bauhaus a century ago this year and thereby earned an irrevocable place in the pantheon of Modernism—it is hard not to be impressed by his most salient talent: survival. After each new somersault of fate he somehow landed on his feet and emerged undeterred.
