Bauhaus, meaning "House of Building" or "Building School", operated from 1919 to 1933 teaching crafts and fine arts.Originally started by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was a huge influence to the modernist movement.
The Bauhaus produced some of the most influential architects to date, such as Philip Johnson, I.M. Pei, and Paul Rudolph.

Mies van der Rohe took over the school in its last few remaining years. After the school closed, Mies moved to Chicago and brought the movement with him as Walter Paepcke opened the New Bauhaus which became the Institute of Design, part of the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Of course the Pilgrimage wouldn't be complete without visiting the Bauhaus Archives. Unfortunately, we could not take pictures inside the museum.
