The Bauhaus School: Germany's Radical Design Revolution

In 1919, in the aftermath of World War I, a small art school in Weimar opened its doors with a radical mission: to unite art, craft, and technology. The Bauhaus, founded by Walter Gropius, would become the most influential design school of the 20th century, shaping everything from architecture to furniture to typography. But its journey was anything but smooth—plagued by financial crises, political attacks, and a move from Weimar to Dessau to Berlin before being shut down by the Nazis in 1933. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the key figures—Gropius, Johannes Itten, László Moholy-Nagy, Marcel Breuer, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—and the ideas that made Bauhaus both a beacon of modernism and a target for its enemies. They discuss the iconic buildings, the famous workshops, and the enduring legacy of a school that only existed for 14 years but changed the world. #Bauhaus #WalterGropius #Weimar #Dessau #Modernism #DesignHistory #ArtSchool #JohannesItten #LaszloMoholyNagy #MarcelBreuer #PaulKlee #WassilyKandinsky #LudwigMiesVanDerRohe #BauhausArchitecture #20thCenturyArt #GermanyHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
