Gropius and the Theory of Design

Abstract

The Bauhaus, which Walter Gropius founded in 1919, was not only a shool of design, but also a studio of production, where apprentices were educated at the same time. At this point the Bauhaus succeeds to the guilds of J. Ruskin and W. Morris. This means that they understand the meaning of design as a human act of making of things, both by hands and by machine. The same aspect of design is found in the Fiedler's theory of art. The theory of design, which is not yet founded, will be researched in this direction.
