the utopia of walter gropius

Physical and emotional needs of the society need to merge with order of space. Good architect is the one to grasp the sociological factor, while creating practically impeccable and aesthetically innovative projects. That’s what Walter Gropius used to think so he founded Bauhaus.

The German architect surpassed his contemporaries with utopian visions of perfect community emerging from the architectonical grounds. A complex theory of Gropius embraced the educational aspect focused on practical experience that bridged with the understanding of biological processes and the industrial era was supposed to result in finest architectonical solutions. He wrote a series of essays on his predictions of the visual future of cities. Idealistic to the bone, that you seem to end up reading a well-written tale on the block of flats.

Walter Gropius is part of architect pantheon  next to Le Corbusier and Gerrit Rietveld. The concept of Bauhaus is not an archaic one. It just seems a misfit for any period in history.
