Walter Gropius was a German architect and art educator who founded the Bauhaus school of design, which became a dominant force in architecture and the applied arts in the 20th century.

Walter Gropius designed House Gropius in 1926 in Dessau, Germany, as part of the Bauhaus faculty housing. This iconic structure embodies Bauhaus principles: functionality, simplicity, and modern materials like steel and glass. Its geometric forms, asymmetric layout, flat roofs, open floor plan, and large windows broke from traditional German architecture. The house served as Gropius's residence and a showcase of Bauhaus ideals, integrating art, technology, and industry.

A century after its founding, the German school of art and architecture remains one of the most transcendent — and frustrating — movements of the Modernist age.
