Dietrich Neumann will survey the celebrations of the Bauhaus centenary in Germany and will examine the school’s history as well as its continuing influence. Although its three directors—Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—were all architects, the school’s impact on the built environment pales in comparison with its role in the fields of design and education.
Join thousands of participants in cities across the US throughout the month of October for Docomomo Tour Day, an annual celebration of modern architecture and design.
