Dessau-Roßlau's 2 Bauhaus buildings are the movement's ground zero. Walter Gropius's Dessau Bauhaus campus — completed in 1926 — is where the school's pedagogical revolution became architectural reality. The building's glass curtain wall, asymmetric pinwheel plan, and integration of art, craft, and architecture into a single educational programme made it the most influential school building of the 20th century.
The Masters' House Kandinsky-Klee provided faculty housing as a built manifesto: cubic volumes in white render, flat roofs, open plans, and studio-residences where Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee lived and worked. These buildings are not just architecture but the physical expression of an idea — that design could reshape society from the ground up.
