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.

Gropius and his Bauhaus protégé Marcel Breuer both moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to teach at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and collaborate on projects including The Alan I W Frank House in Pittsburgh and the company-town Aluminum City Terrace project in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, before their professional split.

He attended Harvard Graduate School of Design under Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer on a scholarship in 1945-46, during which time he did vacation work with Alvar Aalto in Boston drawing up plans for the Baker dormitory at MIT.

In 1941, New Kensington became the site of a modern workers ' housing project — named the Aluminum City Terrace — designed by Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius, which set new standards for federal housing design.

Neutra's appointment was part of an ambitious program of architectural commissions to renowned architects, which included embassies by Walter Gropius in Athens, Edward Durrell Stone in New Delhi, Marcel Breuer in The Hague, Josep Lluis Sert in Baghdad, and Eero Saarinen in London.

Early famous residents included Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Agatha Christie ( 1940 – 46 ), László Moholy-Nagy, Adrian Stokes, Egon Riss and Arthur Korn.

It became a haven for Germans escaping Nazi persecution and hosted many famous personages including Christie, Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.

Then he earned a second bachelor ’ s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where his professors included architects Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.

A month before he left for the USA, Gropius recommended Marcel Breuer, a former colleague at the Bauhaus, as his replacement for Controller of Design.

Knoll also received a bachelor's degree in architecture from Armour Institute ( now Illinois Institute of Technology ) in 1941 and briefly worked with leaders of the Bauhaus movement, including Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and the American modernist, Wallace K. Harrison.

Breuer and Gropius ascribed to the famous Bauhaus School of Design in Germany.

Following the war, he, like some other well known architects including Gropius and Breuer ( by then working in America ), contributed to the British post-War housing effort by introducing an early scheme for modular housing he called Room Unit Production.

) At the same time, Breuer worked with old friend and Bauhaus colleague Walter Gropius, also at Harvard, on the design of several houses in the Boston area and elsewhere.

Breuer dissolved his partnership with Gropius in May 1941 and established his own firm in New York.

It introduced such pivotal architects as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe.

Through his articles in Pencil Points he introduced the work of Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Gio Ponti to North America.

" Eckbo began to take architecture classes with the former Bauhaus director Walter Gropius, who was then head of the architecture department while continuing to take classes in the landscape architecture department.

The design innovations commonly associated with Gropius and the Bauhaus — the radically simplified forms, the rationality and functionality, and the idea that mass-production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit — were already partly developed in Germany before the Bauhaus was founded.

This philosophy reflected Gropius ' central preoccupation with the social responsibilities of architecture.

" By 1923 however, Gropius was no longer evoking images of soaring Romanesque cathedrals and the craft-driven aesthetic of the " Völkisch movement ", instead declaring " we want an architecture adapted to our world of machines, radios and fast cars.

According to Elaine Hoffman, Gropius had approached the Dutch architect Mart Stam to run the newly founded architecture program, and when Stam declined the position, Gropius turned to Stam's friend and colleague in the ABC group, Hannes Meyer.

So the built output of Bauhaus architecture in these years is the output of Gropius: the Sommerfeld house in Berlin, the Otte house in Berlin, the Auerbach house in Jena, and the competition design for the Chicago Tribune Tower, which brought the school much attention.

Bauhaus Dessau, built from 1925 to 1926 to a design by Walter Gropius founded modern architecture.

Walter Gropius, a founder of the Bauhaus school, stated " we want an architecture adapted to our world of machines, radios and fast cars.

Walter Adolph Georg Gropius ( May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969 ) was a German architect and founder of the Bauhaus School who, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

Cubism had become an influential factor in the development of modern architecture from 1912 onward, developing in parallel with architects such as Peter Behrens and Walter Gropius, with the simplification of building design, the use of materials appropriate to industrial production, and the increased use of glass.

His success as a practitioner of modern architecture and his prominence as an academic, enabled Stone to form bonds with other academics of the era like Walter Gropius ( Chairman of the Department of Architecture at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design ), Pietro Belluschi ( Dean of MIT's School of Architecture and Planning ), George Howe ( Chairman of Yale University ’ s School of Architecture ) and William Wurster ( co-founder of the University of California at Berkeley College of Environmental Design ).

Before leaving the Academy, Jacobsen also travelled to Germany, where he became acquainted with the rationalist architecture of Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius.

The area has some remarkable architecture, such as the Isokon building in Lawn Road, a Grade I listed experiment in collective housing, once home to Agatha Christie, Henry Moore, Ben Nicholson and Walter Gropius.

Sights in Alfeld include the town hall ( 1586 ) with its octagonal tower, the church Saint Nicolai and the Fillerturm, a medieval watchtower and the Fagus Factory of 1911, a fine example of early modernist architecture by Walter Gropius.

Following this abandonment, two of the three pioneers of Modern architecture, Mies Van Der Rohe and Walter Gropius, left Germany for America ( while Le Corbusier stayed in France ).

From 1926 to 1934 he had a small art and architecture school in Berlin, in which Ernst Neufert, the former chief-architect of Walter Gropius at the Bauhaus, taught as well from 1932 to 1934.

Rudolph earned his bachelor's degree in architecture at Auburn University ( then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute ) in 1940 and then moved on to the Harvard Graduate School of Design to study with Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius.

He graduated from Williams College and then studied architecture at Harvard University and worked as a personal assistant to the Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius.

Set amid fields, forests, and farmhouses, the Gropius House mixes up the traditional materials of New England architecture ( wood, brick, and fieldstone ) with industrial materials such as glass block, acoustic plaster, and chrome banisters.

But modern architecture in this sense largely remained the preserve of European architects until the 1960s, one notable exception being Le Groupe Transvaal in South Africa, who built homes inspired by Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier.

Walter Gropius appointed Meyer head of the Bauhaus architecture department when it was finally established in April 1927.

In the pamphlet for an April 1919 exhibition entitled " Exhibition of Unknown Architects ", Gropius proclaimed his goal as being " to create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions which raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist.

During the years under Gropius ( 1919 – 1927 ), he and his partner Adolf Meyer observed no real distinction between the output of his architectural office and the school.

Many of the Standard models, built between 1927 and 1934, featured Gropius and Neuss coachwork.
