 About the Architect
Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (18 May 1883 – 5 July 1969) was a German-
American architect and founder of the Bauhaus School, who, along with
Alvar Aalto, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd
Wright, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modernist
architecture. He is a founder of Bauhaus in Weimar (1919). Gropius was also
a leading architect of the International Style.

Bauhaus Art
Similar to Bauhaus art, architecture in this style’s characteristics are shaped
by harmoniously balanced geometric shapes and an emphasis on function.
Featuring open plans and lots of glass, it is inspired by the simple yet
polished look of the American Arts and Crafts movement—a genre
popularized by master architect and Prairie School pioneer Frank Lloyd
Wright.
Examples of Bauhaus Architecture
Review
Bauhaus art in architecture balance of beauty and utility is
largely responsible for the adoption and popularity of
minimalist design as we know it today.
Bauhaus is all about minimal, functional, innovative design.
Bauhaus and Art Deco style almost the same period, but they
are two different design styles. Art Deco focused on the
meticulous decoration products, But Bauhaus emphasis on
simple and practical.
