As the \u003cstrong\u003efounding director of the Bauhaus\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Berlin-born architect had an inestimable influence on our aesthetic environment, championing a bold new \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid of light, geometry, and industrial design\u003c\/strong\u003e, as dazzling today as it was a century ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this essential architect introduction, we survey Gropius' evolution and influence with \u003cstrong\u003e20 of his most significant projects\u003c\/strong\u003e, from the \u003cstrong\u003eBauhaus Building\u003c\/strong\u003e in Dessau, Germany, to the \u003cstrong\u003eChicago Tribune Tower \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eHarvard University Graduate Center\u003c\/strong\u003e, completed after Gropius's exodus to the United States in 1937. We explore his role both as an architectural practitioner, and as a writer and educator, not only as a \u003cstrong\u003eBauhaus pioneer, \u003c\/strong\u003e but also, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as a leading proponent of the \u003cstrong\u003eInternational Style\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Along the way, we see how many of Gropius's tenets remain\u003cstrong\u003e benchmarks for architects, designers, and urbanists today\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whether in his emphasis on a functional beauty or his interest in housing and city planning, Gropius astounds in the agility of his thinking as much as in the luminous precision of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10.3 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588840456441,"sku":"9783836544344","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Vpgk1Y0CtR9783836544344.webp?v=1793699304","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/gropius-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
