Walter Gropius

The Bauhaus was a school for the future.

The architect must be a master of color.

The Bauhaus was a symbol of hope.

The architect must be a master of texture.

The Bauhaus was a beacon of modernism.

The architect must be a master of rhythm.

The Bauhaus was a revolution in design.

The architect must be a master of harmony.

The Bauhaus was a force for good.

The architect must be a master of contrast.

Let us create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist.

Art and technology: a new unity.

The Bauhaus strives to co-ordinate all creative effort, the whole of all artistic activity, so that in a new architecture the arts may find that unity which they once possessed in the cathedral.

The ultimate, if distant, goal of the Bauhaus is the unified work: architecture, sculpture and painting, in one creation.

Good buildings come from good people, and all problems of cities are problems of people.

A modern, harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of an authentic democracy.

The machine is our most important ally in creating a new and better environment.

I don't want to have a house in the country, and I don't want to have a house by the sea. I want to have a house in the city.

The Bauhaus is not a school for artists, but a school for designers.

Less is more.
