Martin Gropius Bau


I love the facade of the Martin Gropius Bau. The building was designed by none other than Martin Gropius, who was the great uncle (thanks Jack!) of Walter Gropius, one of the founders of the Bauhaus movement. I've been to a few exhibitions in the space and it's also very nice inside, perhaps it's time to see what else is coming up!

  11. This facade could not be further from the kind of barebones modernist buildings that Walter Gropius built. I read the article at your link, and Martin was the great-uncle of Walter Gropius, working maybe 50-75 years before Walter Gropius. The law firm where I began my career represented Walter Gropius in the USA. Frankly, I am glad that architecture is moving away from the too-severe Bauhaus look.

  12. Such a stunning building. So solid and sturdy. I know from nothing about Walter Gropius or any other Gropius, but I do like this architectural masterpiece!
