Walter Gropius was the man that gave flesh, muscles and
spirit to the vision of integrating all the branches of skills related to
building human dwelling for work, rest, recreation, learning, earning a living
and relating.
The year was 1919 in Weimar, Germany
The quest is process-based.
From observation to discovery.
From discovery to invention.
Under-pinning observation, discovery and invention is
intuition which together give artistic form to the environment we live in.
Here is a summary behind the setting up of a ground-breaking
system of building: THE BAUHAUS.
Thinking that harmonises form and function.
Applying intelligence with respect for materials and
surroundings and technology.
Creating beauty within the integrity of functions.
Art enters in to touch the hearts of the dwellers.
Spirituality with the soul and guts of nature.
These clarified values give creative freedom to bring his
ground-breaking structures to life.
People who live in them can own them by adding or removing
elements.
This is a taste of BAUHAUS.
