Summary
The Bauhaus school in Weimar (1919–1925) pioneered a democratic, interdisciplinary approach to architecture and design, breaking traditional barriers for students, including women. Founded by Walter Gropius under the motto 'Arte e industria, una nueva unidad,' it merged artistic creation with industrial design, aiming for standardized prototypes while fostering individual talent. A notable achievement was the 1923 'Haus am Horn' exhibition, where Bauhaus workshops—including female students—demonstrated groundbreaking architectural and design innovation. This period marked a transformative era, blending collectivism and individualism to redefine modern architecture, with lasting influence on UNESCO-listed Bauhaus sites in Weimar, Dessau, and Bernau.
