(German: “House of building”). The Bauhaus was an art and design school that operated from 1919 to 1933. It was founded by the architect Walter Gropius in Weimar. It moved to Dessau from 1925 to 1932 , then to Berlin from 1932 to 1933, after which it was suppressed by the Nazis. The school was notable for an educational program that synthesized craftsmanship, technology, and aesthetics. The Bauhaus had a profound influence on later 20th-century developments in architecture, art, graphic design, interior design, and industrial design. Web resources here and here.
