Bauhaus Dessau, Germany,by Walter Gropius

The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in 1919 in Weimar. This school was designed for Art and Architecture, as it was appreciated for its unique approach to art and design. The school operated from the time of its establishment until 1932 when the Bauhaus was closed down during the war as the Nazi government seized power in Germany. Occurring around this time period a change was witnessed not only in Germany but in most of the industrialized countries towards a gradual transition towards modernism. Everything was influenced by this trend towards modernism as mechanism and manufacturing were beginning to blossom, including art and architectures at the time.
