He was the founder and president of the Bauhaus School of Design. This school is both a building and an art and design movement, very possibly the most important in modern history. This course is part of a series on Modern Architecture and Design that includes courses on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright.
