What is the course about?
The Bauhaus, under the Directorship of Walter Gropius offered a radical new approach, the school sought to unite art and design and to align with industry to produce modern, functional buildings and interior furnishings. Bauhaus style spread around the world following the closure of the school in 1933. Walter Gropius came to London, bringing the Bauhaus style with him.
In this Friday evening talk we will explore Bauhaus in London and discover how the style is still all around us today.
