After Class 3/29

In today's class, Joslyn presented to us the Bauhaus movement. The Bauhaus movement started as the Weiner Arts and Crafts School directed by Henri van de Velde. Then after WWI, Walter Groupius took over the helm and attempted to unify artist and craftsman to industry. The Bauhaus School was in Weiner from 1919-1942 where expressionism, De Stijl, and Constructivism were in full effect. Then from 1925-1933, Bauhaus moved to Dessau, where it was renamed Hochschule fur Gestatlung.


Question: If Bauhaus did not move from its original location, do you think it would be what it is today?
