PHILOSOPHIES
LECTURE
Bauhaus is a German
expression meaning "house for
building."
Bauhaus architects rejected
"bourgeois" details such as
cornices, eaves and decorative
details.
Use principles of Classical
architecture in their most pure
form: without ornamentation of
any kind.

FAGUS FACTORY
LECTURE
The plan of the Cologne building was axially designed in the Beaux-Arts
tradition, but the major influence was predominantly that of Frank Lloyd
Wright.
Gropius and Meyer were
influenced by Wright's style
especially in the horizontality
and the wide overhanging eaves,
but also in the symmetry, the
corner pavilions, and the whole
spirit of Wright's concept.

"You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with
these materials you build houses and palaces: that
is construction, Ingenuity is at work.
"Space and light and order. Those are the things
that men need just as much as they need bread or
a place to sleep."
"The house is a machine for living in."
"Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new
kind of plan, both for the house and the city."
"The 'Styles' are a lie."
Architecture or revolution.
Revolution can be avoided."
