The Bauhaus Approach to Innovation in Learning and Creativity

The Bauhaus School, founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, by Walter Gropius, was a landmark in the history of design as a discipline, and its influence can still be seen today in design education and in the commercial world. The school was also a workplace, commercializing Bauhaus-designed products. While drawing global interest in its innovations, the school also faced resistance in Germany because it challenged conventions and was finally closed down shortly after the Nazis took power in 1933.
