 Bauhaus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bauhaus art school existed in three different cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932, and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors (Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 to 1933).
During the years under Gropius (1919 – 1927), he and his partner Adolf Meyer observed no real distinction between the output of his architectural office and the school.
When the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, for instance, the pottery shop was discontinued, although it had been an important revenue source.

 Comrades and Citizens
Meyer's interests found their parallel in other radical, anti-individualist artistic practices, like those of Moholy and others; his work on ABC brought him into close contact with El Lissitzky.
Hays has identified Hilberseimer and Meyer as two architects whose work implicitly absorbed and reflected the same influences that were operating on Frankfurt School theorists, writing at roughly the same time that Hilberseimer and Meyer were proposing their early theoretical work.
For Meyer, the reader must turn to Claude Schnaidt's 1965 monograph for basic information on his projects and writings, along with several more recent treatments for development of selected themes.

 The Return of the Alto
Ewazen's inspiration for this work resulted from a trip to South Carolina's coastal region of Charleston where a walk by the seashore and the "gracefulness and charm of the coast's dunes, historical architecture and its spectacular flora (Palmetto) inspired this compositional gem.
Barron impressed me with his command of the lower register of the alto particularly in the final two movements of the Hannes Meyer Sonata in C-minor on Themes of G.B. Pergolesi, performed here with organist Peter Sykes.
Sonata in C minor by Hannes Meyer was composed originally for Branimir Slokar's recording Baroque Music for Trombone and Organ and is based on themes from Pergolesi.

In 1929 Schlemmer, too, left for the School of Fine Arts in Breslau, and Hannes Meyer was appointed director of the Bauhaus.
Meyer was a marxist and had disagreements with his fellow-workers at the Bauhaus and the authorities of Dessau.
At first the Bauhaus was mainly involved with expressionist art, design and architecture, but later became famous for its development of a style of functional architecture and its experimental use of building materials.

Meyer considered building to be pure organization, void of any creative component.
The building department was also called upon by Meyer for the construction of his design for the house of the Federal School of the German Trade Unions (ADGB) in Bernau, near Berlin.
The exterior of these designs, with their angular appearance and poor in detail, in which each element can be "accounted for", not only tried to break with traditional building aesthetics, but also attempted to make the design principles of New Architecture, with their emphasis on equilibrium and rhythm, seem overhauled.

Hannes Meyer went too far beyond Gropius´ "study of essentials, which focused excessively on the object for his taste, turning his teaching program into one where the concrete conditions in society and the factors determining architecture and its use formed the point of departure for all planning and design.
Architecture training at the Bauhaus in Weimar was initially the prerogative of Walter Gropius private architectural practice and for a short time courses were run by his partner Adolf Meyer and in association with the building trades school in Weimar.
Although the Bauhaus lacked an architecture department, it was the buildings designed in Gropius office and erected from 1925 onwards among which the Bauhaus building itself and the masters houses enjoy pride of place which dominated the years in Dessau right from the outset.
