Description
Summary:Thanks to a thoroughly researched and documented restoration by its current owners, the architect Walter Gropius's early 20th-century Auerbach house in Jena, Germany, is ready for its Technicolor close-up. Although Walter Gropius continued his professional architectural practice after founding the Bauhaus-the legendary design school he ran in Weimar, Germany, between 1919 and 1928-there were only six private residences among the projects he completed before leaving the country permanently in the mid '30's. The house reflects another preoccupation of the early Bauhaus: the use of color as an essential element in architecture.
