Description |
|
This
building on Klingelhoferstrasse is home to
the Bauhaus Archive. The Senate of
Berlin provided the site and the
funding. Gropius, the founder of the
movement designed the building.
Apparently little of the original design
remains apart from the shed roofs. The archive houses a collection of documents, watercolours, prints and photographs, along with models and architectural plans. Among those whose work is recognized there are Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Werner Drewes, Gunta Stölzl and Oskar Schlemmer. |
