World Heritage Site. Brief description by UNESCO: Between 1919 and 1933, the Bauhaus School, based first in Weimar and then in Dessau, revolutionized the architectural and aesthetic concepts and practices inherited from the Renaissance. The buildings put up and decorated by the school's professors (Walter Gropius or Hannes Meyer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy or Wassily Kandinsky) launched the Modern Movement which has shaped much of the architecture of the 20th century.

For an opposing view of the Bauhaus as a positive influence on 20th century modernism, see Nikos A. Salingaros, Twentieth Century Architecture as a Cult. <http://www.intbau.org/essay3.htm> (28 October 2004):" The Bauhaus and Taliesin -- two "compounds" upon which contemporary architectural education is based -- followed a cult structure. Walter Gropius established a strict, authoritarian cult regime for resident Bauhaus students. Johannes Itten, a follower of a cultish offshoot of the Mazdaist (Zoroastrian) religion, indoctrinated Bauhaus students into its mystical practices. Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Theo van Doesburg (all Bauhaus teachers at some point) belonged to the Theosophist movement led by Helena Blavatsky. They subscribed to the mystical cosmology of fellow Theosophist Dr. M. Schoenmackers, whose astrological theories decried that only the primary colors yellow, blue and red could be used."

For an opposing view of the geometric stylizations of modern architecture, see Michael W. Mehaffy & Nikos A. Salingaros,Geometrical Fundamentalism at Plan Net: An Online Architecture Resource Guide. 12/27/2001. <http://www.plannet.com/features/geometricalfundamentalism.html> (23 November 2004)
