Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and student Carl Bauer during the move to the new Bauhaus building in Berlin, 1932.
Mies served as the school’s third and final director from 1930-1933. He reworked the school’s image and program of study in response to the scrutiny by the state over curriculum and funding. After losing municipal financial support in Dessau, Mies moved the Bauhaus to Berlin, where it opened as a private school for architecture, a venture that only lasted 6 months until Nazi pressure forced it to close.
Design is fine. History is mine.
