A German school of architecture and design
founded 1919 by the architect Walter
Gropius at Weimar in Germany, in an attempt
to fuse all the arts and crafts into a
unified whole. Moved to Dessau under
political pressure 1925, it was closed by the
Nazis 1933. Associated with the Bauhaus were
the artists Klee and Kandinsky and the
architect Mies van der Rohe. The
international style of Modern architecture
spread worldwide from there and in 1972 the
Bauhaus Archive was installed in new premises
in W Berlin.
