A German art and design school (1919-1933) that revolutionized architecture, art, and design by integrating craftsmanship with industrial production. It emphasized functional design, geometric forms, and the unity of art and technology.
German compound of 'bau' (building/construction) and 'haus' (house), literally 'building house.' Founded by Walter Gropius, the name reflected the school's focus on architecture as the ultimate synthesis of all arts.
