Fiona MacCarthy's "Gropius : The Man Who Built the Bauhaus" is rewarding reading not just for those interested in architecture and design but for anybody trying to get to grips with the cultural history of the first half of the twentieth century.

MacCarthy is determined to dispel the hostile caricature promulgated by Tom Wolfe and other antimodernists of Gropius as a planner of the subordination of the human to a soulless, mechanized modernity.

Instead, MacCarthy argues, Gropius was an heir of William Morris in his passionate conviction that architecture and design can incorporate not just the conveniences of technology but also the values of art into our modern lives.

For MacCarthy, the fruits of this passion are to be found in the work of Gropius as an architectural educator and thinker as much as -- or perhaps even more so than -- in the actual buildings he designed.

As the prime mover of the Bauhaus, the legacy of Gropius lives on not just in the initiation of students of art and design by means of a foundation course or in the contents of an IKEA flatpack, but also in holding out for "experiment, delight, and the meaning of our choices in the things we choose to live with."

This is a book cover featuring a portrait of a person in a sepia tone. The person is depicted from the chest up, wearing a dark suit, a light-colored shirt, and a dark tie. The person is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. Large, bold red lettering is overlaid on the image, spelling out "GROPIUS". Below that, in smaller white lettering, is the text "THE MAN WHO BUILT THE BAUHAUS". At the very top of the cover is the name "FIONA MacCARTHY". In the background, slightly blurred, is a tall building with a grid-like pattern of windows.

Odeion Athinon (Athens Conservatoire), one of the rare examples of #Bauhaus architecture in #Greece, designed by #Gropius student Ioannis Despotopoulos.

The building was designed in 1959; however, due to some setbacks, construction began ten years later. It was finished as late as 1980, and is again under construction in 2025.

t coles coyage of life childhood shows a angel and a child on a bark on a river sourrounded by big rock formations on the left and a open plain to the right with floral plants (one of them looking like a huge bush of the cushiest cush)
the bauhaus dessau has been shopped into the plain.

remark: i didnt ever mention this in my visual description, but i generally sign my works (i integrate my mascot somewhere (a stylized orange mammoth), or write mamema somewhere stylistically integrated within the picture, it could be a graffity on a wall or something like that) the bauhaus dessau has a vertical quite iconic signing "bauhaus) on it, in same font next to it mamema.

i generally dont mention, but if ever someone would follow my account and would have to rely on, so here i did.

btw; if visually impaired and there are any questions, do not hesitate, for such assistance, pm will be answered gladly asap. all the best!

„Der Fußgänger ist vom Automobil an die Wand gedrückt worden. Wir haben nicht mehr unser Wegerecht. Ich möchte, dass in diesem neuen Teil von Berlin ganz stark der Fußgänger wieder sein Recht bekommt.“ - Walter #Gropius #autokorrektur

„Die neue Zeit“ - Miniserie in der #arte Mediathek über #gropius #bauhaus #weimar.

Le Covid m’a clouée au lit. L’occasion de dévorer les #series d’#Arte !

📺 Dernière trouvaille en date que je recommande les yeux fermés :
« #Bauhaus, un temps nouveau »
C’est un régal de découvrir ce mouvement artistique au travers d’une interview intimiste de W. #Gropius

Hyper documentée, riche, esthétique, cette série est une très belle réussite qui plaira autant à ceux qui connaissent le mouvement qu’aux néophytes. #recommandation +++

Page from novel:

That reminds me though - I saw a puppet show in the park once that was obviously based on another version of the Babel story, who knows from where. In their version, the Tower of Babel story was actually about different styles of architecture. So "Prince Gropius" builds the Tower of Babel, a specific large building that is an affront to god, to symbolize large god-affronting buildings in general.

But when God goes to destroy it, and scatter the people to the eight corners of the world, he was unable to do so, because the architects were actually good at their jobs. The foundation held, the walls held. Not a single window broke.

Gropius: 1, God: 0.

Nachhaltigkeitskongress 2022: auch Tag 2 hat viel Neues gebracht. Nach New Work mit @ChrisBoesenberg ging es um Innovationen u.a. mit tollen Vorträgen von @KraftblockE, #Gropius. Aus ein Neues in 2023! @FM_OttoSchmidt
