This outstanding collection of photographs by the acclaimed photographer, Hans Engels, provides a detailed survey of surviving Bauhaus architecture in Europe. Focusing on buildings designed by Bauhaus members during the institution's existence from 1919 to 1933, the book looks at some 65 building projects in Germany, Vienna, Barcelona, Prague, and Budapest by architects including Walter Gropius, Ludwig Hilberseimer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Informative commentaries and site plans accompany the photographs.
Although active for a short period of time, the Bauhaus is widely seen as one of the most important 20th- century schools of architecture, design, and art. The masterful and often highly original photographs collected in this volume reflect the full range of Bauhaus architecture, and show many buildings in their newly restored condition
