Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus

This course is on the work of architect Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus School of Design. Walter Gropius is the spark for modern design and architecture. He was the founder and president of the Bauhaus School of Design. This school is both a building and an art and design movement, very possibly the most important in modern history. This course is part of a series on Modern Architecture and Design that includes courses on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. I teach courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated firsthand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius

This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.

The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.
