Bauhaus at Dessau: The School That Redesigned the World

In 1925, the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau, where Walter Gropius designed a radical new campus of glass, steel, and concrete. This episode explores how the Dessau years transformed the school into a powerhouse of modern design, from the iconic Masters' Houses to the functionalist workshops. We follow the curriculum shift, the political battles with the Dessau city council, and the exodus of key figures like Kandinsky and Klee. Through the lens of the Bauhaus building itself, we reveal how a small German city became the epicenter of 20th-century design. Featuring details on the Prellerhaus student dormitory, the famous cantilevered chairs by Marcel Breuer, and the school's final closure under the Nazis in 1932, this episode offers a fresh perspective on a movement that still shapes our homes, furniture, and cities today. #Bauhaus #Dessau #WalterGropius #MarcelBreuer #Modernism #BauhausBuilding #Prellerhaus #MastersHouses #WeimarGermany #BauhausDessau #DesignHistory #20thCenturyDesign #LudwigMiesVanDerRohe #HannesMeyer #LászlóMoholyNagy #FunctionalistArchitecture #ArtSchool #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
