An Architectural Statement of Transparency and Communication

Designed by Walter Gropius in 1925 after the Bauhaus was forced to leave Weimar for political reasons, the building in Dessau still appears strikingly modern – in its formal language, openness, and educational vision.

Positioned freely on the site, it stands as a solitary structure, legible from all sides. The architecture is deliberately permeable: expansive glazing and the iconic curtain wall express Gropius's idea of a transparent, accessible space for learning.

This openness is more than a design principle – it embodies a new educational approach: collaborative, dynamic, and free from authoritarian structures.

Technical elements are openly visible: radiators from the central Junkers heating system line the walls, and window mechanisms are clearly integrated. The building reveals how it works – and invites critical engagement.

Here, transparency and communication are not abstract ideals but built reality.
