In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germanyโs Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, and sculpture to ceramics.This best-selling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fรผr Gestaltung in Berlin, the worldโs largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Some 575 illustrations including architectural plans, studies, photographs, sketches, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a โtotalโ work of art.This is a defining account of Bauhaus' energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in Modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. The handy edition features artists Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and many more. Review: Nice and compact reference book. - Cover the style pretty well. Review: Beautiful art book - Amazing series of books - very insightful and informative

Great follow up book to the 1980s release.
I can assure you the text is a very readable size and everyone complaining here needs to see an optometrist asap!

Being, Doing and Having in the cathedral of design: the Bauhaus
We are here designing websites, printed books, furniture for the home and office, clothing, visual merchandising, in short, thanks to the Bauhaus, its teachers and students. They gave us sans serif typefaces, the dot and the line in space and reminded us that God is in the details, as Mies Van Der Rohe said.

Beautiful book with almost unreadable text (size)
This is a beautiful and probably informative book with one glaring problem. The text size is so small as to be almost unreadable unless you have perfect vision. Even with good reading glasses I could not follow the text. Using the "E Scale" on a graphics arts ruler it looks like 6 pt type, which is kind of, I don't know. insulting (?) to a lot of people. I returned the Bauhaus book. [n the same Amazon order I received a Zizek volume (Verso) with 10 pt type which is about as small as readable for many of us.] PS. The Taschen website shows a 10 x 13 inch version of the same volume to be released soon...but for $80.

Brilliant Bauhaus.
I wanted a Bauhaus book for Christmas, and I am thinking about an album by the band Bauhaus as well.
