Der Katalog zur Ausstellung „Bauhaus-Archiv Darmstadt – Bilanz und weltweite Wirkung 1960 bis 1970“ erinnert mit bislang unveröffentichten Fotografien und seltenen Dokumenten an das zehnjährige Wirken des Darmstädter Bauhaus-Archivs.

Within the space of only 14 years, the Bauhaus – founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919 – set the course of modern design. Gropius's pedagogical approach revolutionized the traditional training in art schools.

Walter Gropius' early buildings in Pomerania were still strongly marked by his teacher Peter Behrens, after an expressionistic phase focused on handicraft, he ultimately arrived at geometric abstraction.
