Book excerpt: “This is an absolute triumph—ideas, lives, and the dramas of the twentieth century are woven together in a feat of storytelling. A masterpiece.” —Edmund de Waal, ceramic artist and author of The White Road The impact of Walter Gropius can be measured in his buildings—Fagus Factory, Bauhaus Dessau, Pan Am—but no less in his students. I. M. Pei, Paul Rudolph, Anni Albers, Philip Johnson, Fumihiko Maki: countless masters were once disciples at the Bauhaus in Berlin and at Harvard. Between 1910 and 1930, Gropius was at the center of European modernism and avant-garde society glamor, only to be exiled to the antimodernist United Kingdom during the Nazi years. Later, under the democratizing influence of American universities, Gropius became an advocate of public art and cemented a starring role in twentieth-century architecture and design. Fiona MacCarthy challenges the image of Gropius as a doctrinaire architectural rationalist, bringing out the visionary philosophy and courage that carried him through a politically hostile age. Pilloried by Tom Wolfe as inventor of the monolithic high-rise, Gropius is better remembered as inventor of a form of art education that influenced schools worldwide. He viewed argument as intrinsic to creativity. Unusually for one in his position, Gropius encouraged women’s artistic endeavors and sought equal romantic partners. Though a traveler in elite circles, he objected to the cloistering of beauty as “a special privilege for the aesthetically initiated.” Gropius offers a poignant and personal story—and a fascinating reexamination of the urges that drove European and American modernism.
Download or read book Begegnungen mit Walter Gropius in The Architects Collaborative TAC written by Arnold Körte and published by Gebruder Mann Verlag. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Als Architekturlehrer fand der Emigrant Walter Gropius in Harvard 1937 seinen neuen Wirkungsort in den USA. Als Architekt bot sich ihm erst zehn Jahre spater die Chance zur Burogrundung. Mit sieben jungen Partnern grundete er das Architektenkollektiv The Architects Collaborative. Hier stand der Teamgedanke im Zentrum, und das Buro lockte bald einen hochmotivierten Mitarbeiterstab aus der ganzen Welt an. Die Ideenschmiede in Cambridge (USA) wuchs zum international agierenden Grossburo, das brutalistisch entwarf und baute, als noch niemand das so nannte. TAC baute auch in Deutschland: in Berlin etwa einen Wohnblock im Hansaviertel, die Gropius- stadt und das Bauhaus-Archiv; im frankischen Selb die Porzellanfabrik Rosenthal. Der Autor war zwischen 1962 und 1964 Mitarbeiter bei TAC. Mit Gropius und den ehemaligen Kollegen blieb er anschliessend in Kontakt durch Briefe und regelmassige Besuche. Ihm gelingt eine einzigartige lebendige Ruckschau auf Begegnungen mit Gropius, dessen Gedankenwelt und herzliche, aufmerksame Art TAC pragten. Er er- zahlt vom Alltag des Buros, von den Ablaufen, den Grundungsmitgliedern und der Stimmung unter den Partnern und Mitarbeitern. So entsteht ein farbiges und person- liches Bild der spaten Jahre von Gropius, der immer zu seinem Geburtstag am 18. Mai zu einem grossen Fest auf dem Harvard-Campus einlud - mit Drachensteigen, Erdbee- ren und Champagner.

Download or read book Walter Gropius written by and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As founder of the Bauhaus school, Walter Gropius (1883–1969) is one of the icons of 20the century architecture. While his early buildings in Pomerania were still strongly marked by his teacher Peter Behrens, after an expressionistic phase focused on handicraft, he ultimately arrived at geometric abstraction. During the entire period he collaborated with other architects, founding the collective known as "The Architects Collaborative" in the US. The comprehensive monograph documents all 74 of the known buildings by Gropius that were realized, including many early works which he never publicized; but it also critically examines his unbuilt projects. The book is illustrated with new photographs by the author, historical figures, and with as new plans drawn by the author.

Download or read book Walter Gropius 1883 1969 written by Gilbert Lupfer and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2004 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection focuses on how architectural material is transformed, revised, swallowed whole, plagiarized, or in any other way appropriated. It charts new territory within this still unexplored yet highly topical area of study by establishing a shared vocabulary with which to discuss, or contest, the workings of appropriation as a vital and progressive aspect of architectural discourse. Written by a group of rising scholars in the field of architectural history and criticism, the chapters cover a range of architectural subjects that are linked in their investigations of how architects engage with their predecessors.
