Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919, and this film traces how a single art school reshaped the look of the modern world in only fourteen years before the Nazis shut it down. Interviews with architects, designers, and historians sit alongside archival photographs of the original workshops and footage of surviving Bauhaus buildings in Dessau and Tel Aviv, where emigre students carried the style abroad. The documentary follows the school's core idea, that furniture, buildings, and everyday objects should be stripped to function and form, from its origins under Gropius through the tenures of Hannes Meyer and Mies van der Rohe. It also tracks the diaspora after the closure, as former students and teachers scattered to Chicago, Tel Aviv, and beyond, spreading the aesthetic into curtain-wall skyscrapers and mass-produced furniture still in use today. Shot to mark the school's centenary, it treats the Bauhaus less as a museum piece than as a design language still visible on ordinary streets.
