BAUHAUS - the name means 'House of Building' or 'Building School' -- founded in Weimar by Walter Gropius in 1919.


A small number of central European and German refugees and émigrés from war and fascism brought the BAUHAUS philosophy to Australia. 

A group of art historians investigated in a new book the impact of BAUHAUS ideas on the history of modernist art, architecture and design in Australia.

One of the authors, Professor Isabel Wünsche from Bremen told Wolfgang Müller about their research.
