The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar.

The school existed in three German cities ( Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933 ), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime.

Behrens was a founding member of the Werkbund, and both Walter Gropius and Adolf Meier worked for him in this period.

The school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919 as a merger of the Grand Ducal School of Arts and Crafts and the Weimar Academy of Fine Art.

In 1923, Walter Gropius invited Rietveld to exhibit at the Bauhaus.

After graduating, he joined the Harvard Graduate School of Design ( GSD ) and became friends with the Bauhaus architects Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.

Two of these, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, took positions at the Harvard GSD.

He began his architectural career as an apprentice at the studio of Peter Behrens from 1908 to 1912, where he was exposed to the current design theories and to progressive German culture, working alongside Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier.

Starting in 1930, Mies served as the last Director of the faltering Bauhaus, at the request of his colleague and competitor Walter Gropius.

Between October 1910 and March 1911, he worked near Berlin for the renowned architect Peter Behrens, where he might have met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius.

In this book, Le Corbusier followed the influence of Walter Gropius and reprinted several photographs of North American factories and grain elevators.

When Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in Germany in 1919, Feininger was his first faculty appointment, and became the master artist in charge of the printmaking workshop.

He gave some prints away to his colleagues Walter Gropius and Alfred H. Barr, Jr ..
