   Why did Gropius leave Bauhaus school?

   • Funded by the German State, the Bauhaus School was always subject to political posturing. By 1925 the institution found more space and stability by relocating from Weimar to Dessau, the site of the iconic glass Bauhaus Building Gropius designed. By 1928, having directed the school since 1919, Gropius handed in his resignation.

   Why did Gropius rename the Bauhaus?

   • Gropius fused the city’s arts-and-crafts school and its fine-arts academy under a new name, the Bauhaus, which he adapted from the Bauhütte, the medieval stone mason’s guild. The idea was to evoke a time before the “fine arts” had been designated as a superior pursuit.

   How do we reconcile Gropius' personal conflict with the Bauhaus?

   • The rational domestic interiors we associate with the Bauhaus—white walls, a few perfect objects, chairs and tables distilled to their essence—make the very idea of personal conflict seem almost gauche. There is no way to reconcile Gropius’s emotional life in the early twenties with the idealized spaces he created.
