Originally headed by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus counted among its members artists and architects such as Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, and Marcel Breuer. In 1930, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe took over as the leader, but soon after, in 1933, the Nazi government shut down the school. During its fourteen years of existence, Bauhaus managed to change the faces of art, architecture, and industrial design forever and is still hugely influential today.\u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom\"\u003e\t\t \u003c\/div\u003e\t\u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom\" id=\"series_text\" style=\"display: block;\"\u003e\t\t\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\t\tEach book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture Series features:\u003cul\u003e\t\t\u003cli\u003ean introduction to the life and work of the architect\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\u003cli\u003ethe major works in chronological order\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\u003cli\u003einformation about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\u003cli\u003ea list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\u003cli\u003eapproximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)\u003c\/li\u003e\t\t\u003c\/ul\u003e\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46323959103698,"sku":"9783822836491","price":13.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_ade77e2e-cb3b-4b4a-b52d-51ac047db494.jpg?v=1763517509","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/bauhaus-5","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
