Bauhaus Building

The Bauhaus building was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts. It’s known today worldwide as the symbol of “white modernism”.  It evokes the image of white, cubic, and abstract buildings. Since operations could no longer be held due to budget cuts by the government, Bauhaus left its founding site in Weimar. The building has a glass outer shell, revealing the inside and the construction. It also is arranged a clear separation of functions between working, studying, and living. Today the Bauhaus building can be visited daily. It offers overnight accommodation in faithfully restored rooms.
