In art, architecture, design, science and technology, the 20th century was one of change, revolution and breaking with the past. It was a century of artistic movements, new doctrines, daring projects, radical experiences and cultural adventures. Coming in the wake of the Weimar School of Arts and Crafts and founded by Walter Gropius a hundred years ago, Staatliches Bauhaus was fundamental to some of these changes. The people who worked with this school of architecture and design included Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, Marcel Breuer, Wassily Kandinsky, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. It had to move twice to different cities and lived under constant threat. It was closed by the Nazis in 1933, but everything it did in those few years lived on into the future. There is a before Bauhaus and an after Bauhaus. In this ‘Record’, the architect Ulf Meyer, author of Bauhaus: 1919-1933, tells the story of the school’s history and its presence in our world today.
