Executed in 1925, the document provides a clear view of the functionalist approach that defined the Bauhaus school. The drawing includes elevations and cross-sections, demonstrating the systematic attention to detail required for the construction of these residences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Masters' Houses were designed to provide living and working spaces for the faculty of the Bauhaus, including figures such as Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Gropius, as the founder of the school, utilised these buildings to demonstrate the potential of industrialised construction and modular design. The lines are clean and purposeful, reflecting the rejection of ornamentation in favour of clarity and utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this specific sheet, the viewer can observe the technical specifications for the window frames and door mechanisms. The inclusion of measurements and structural annotations provides insight into the rigorous planning process behind the Dessau campus. The work is a record of the transition toward modern architectural practices, where the aesthetic quality of a building is derived from its structural logic and the arrangement of its components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those interested in the history of modern design, this print offers a look at the foundational documents of the twentieth-century architectural canon. It captures the intersection of engineering and design, showing how Gropius translated his theoretical concepts into tangible, habitable environments. The minimalist aesthetic of the drawing itself mirrors the spare, geometric character of the completed structures, making it a piece of historical documentation that remains relevant to the study of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bauhaus-preliminary-course-exercises-various-artists\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBauhaus Preliminary Course Exercises - Various Artists — Various Artists\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/crystal-gradation-paul-klee\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCrystal Gradation - Paul Klee — Paul Klee\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Walter Gropius","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684877439311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684892610895,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58684892643663,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684892676431,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684892709199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684892741967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684892774735,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684892807503,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684892840271,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58684892873039,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58684892905807,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58684892938575,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bauhaus-Masters-Housing-Dessau_-Terrace-windows-and-doors_Poster_CompositorV1_1788613230455.jpg?v=1788613554","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/bauhaus-masters-housing-dessau-terrace-windows-and-doors-walter-gropius","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
