包豪斯由建筑师沃尔特•格罗皮乌斯（Walter Gropius，1883-1969）于1919年创立，是20世纪最具影响力的艺术、建筑和设计学校。1933年学校在纳粹的压力下被关闭后，许多包豪斯艺术家将他们的创新实践和教学方法带到了美国。格罗皮乌斯本人也接受了哈佛大学的职位，在那里他帮助收集包豪斯的资料，这些藏品至今已发展到3万多件物品——德国以外**的此类收藏。哈佛大学因此成为包豪斯在美国的非正式中心。本书由该领域的知名人士和新锐人士撰写，所介绍的学术研究进一步说明了两所院校之间的特殊联系，同时突出了包豪斯未被研究的方面，如编织、摄影和女性创作的艺术。这本书为包豪斯的仰慕者和设计爱好者提供了有趣的见解，书中的插图精美，展示了一些从未公开过的物品。

A fresh look at the influential pedagogy and practice pioneered by the Bauhaus

Founded by architect Walter Gropius (1883–

1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was the 20th century’s most influential school of art, architecture, and design. After the school was shuttered under pressure from the Nazis in 1933, many Bauhaus artists brought their innovative practices and teaching methods to the United States. Gropius himself accepted a position at Harvard, where he would help establish a collection of Bauhaus material that has since grown to more than 30,000 objects—the largest such collection outside Germany. Harvard in turn became an unofficial center for the Bauhaus in America. Written by established and emerging voices in the field, the scholarship presented here expands on the special link between the two institutions, while highlighting understudied aspects of the Bauhaus, such as weaving, photography, and art made by women. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations—some of never-before-published objects—

this book yields fascinating insights for Bauhaus devotees and design aficionados.
