Bauhaus

By Dennis Sharp

The Dessau Bauhaus encapsulates the ethos of that design school’s revolutionary new thinking. With its interlocking cubic forms, reinforced concrete frame and glass curtain walls, it was the first large building to crystallize the Modern Movement’s conception of form and space.

Architecture in Detail

Launched in 1991, the Architecture in Detail series attracted immediate acclaim and now comprises more than sixty titles. These books are highly collectable documents, each focusing on a celebrated building. The series covers all parts of the architectural spectrum, and the individual buildings are selected for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity.
Each volume contains a text by a respected author; a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs; a set of technical drawings; and working details. These titles are essential to every architectural library, and will appeal equally to the professional and student, or indeed anyone with an appreciation of buildings.
