Walter Gropius (1883–1969) set out to build for the future. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, the Berlin-born architect had an inestimable influence on our aesthetic environment, championing a bold new hybrid of light, geometry, and industrial design, as dazzling today as it was a century ago.In this essential architect introduction, we survey Gropius’ evolution and influence with 20 of his most significant projects, from the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, Germany, to the Chicago Tribune Tower and Harvard University Graduate Center, completed after Gropius’s exodus to the United States in 1937. We explore his role both as an architectural practitioner, and as a writer and educator, not only as a Bauhaus pioneer, but also, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as a leading proponent of the International Style.Along the way, we see how many of Gropius’s tenets remain benchmarks for architects, designers, and urbanists today. Whether in his emphasis on a functional beauty or his interest in housing and city planning, Gropius astounds in the agility of his thinking as much as in the luminous precision of his work.

Walter Gropius (1883-1969) se propuso construir para el futuro. Como director y fundador de la Bauhaus, el arquitecto berlinés ejerció una influencia incalculable en nuestro entorno estético gracias a su defensa de un nuevo y atrevido híbrido de luz, geometría y diseño industrial, tan deslumbrante hoy como lo era hace un siglo.En esta monografía examinamos la evolución e influencia de este visionario del siglo XX a través de 20 de sus proyectos más importantes, desde el edificio de la Bauhaus en Dessau (Alemania) hasta la Chicago Tribune Tower y el Harvard University Graduate Center, construido después de que Gropius emigrara a Estados Unidos en 1937. Exploramos su labor como arquitecto, escritor y docente, no sólo como uno de los pioneros de la Bauhaus, sino también, junto con Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, como uno de los principales defensores del Estilo Internacional.Al repasar su trayectoria descubrimos que muchos de los principios de Gropius siguen siendo una referencia para arquitectos, diseñadores y urbanistas de hoy en día. Gropius sorprende tanto por la agilidad de su pensamiento como por la precisión luminosa de su trabajo, que se reflejan en la importancia que otorga a la belleza funcional y en su interés por las viviendas y la planificación urbana.
