Which architect designed Bauhaus Dessau?

• A. Gropius
• B. Le Corbusier
• C. Frank Lloyd Wright
• D. Louis Kahn

Answer: (A)

Walter Gropius designed the Bauhaus Dessau. He founded the Bauhaus school and led its move to Dessau, where the new campus became a clear statement of modernist design: form follows function, minimal ornament, and a focus on integrating art, craft, and industry. The building reads as a long, horizontal white block with a visible steel-and-glass structure, emphasizing transparency and industrial efficiency. Its plan places a workshop wing and a classroom wing in close relation and ties them with a connecting element, with a tall corner tower that signals the ensemble's educational and creative purpose. This design became a symbol of modern architecture and of the Bauhaus ethos. The other architects mentioned are known for different works and styles, not the Dessau campus.
