Walter Gropius : Buildings and Projects

As founder of the Bauhaus school, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) is one of the icons of 20th century architecture. While his early buildings in Pomerania were still strongly marked by his teacher Peter Behrens, after an expressionistic phase focused on handicraft, he ultimately arrived at geometric abstraction. During the entire period he collaborated with other architects, founding the collective known as 'The Architects Collaborative' in the US.
