Walter Gropius (1883–1969) and Adolf Meyer (1881–1929). Fagus Shoe Last Factory, 1911–1913. Alfeld, Germany.

Gropius delivered an important lecture in 1923 with the title ‘Art and Technology—a New Unity’. Architecturally this meant a return to the factory aesthetic which he had pioneered in his Fagus Factory of 1911. This shift of stylistic emphasis was reflected in the physical removal of the Bauhaus to Dessau from Weimar. At Dessau in 1925–6 Gropius and Meyer put up a new home for the Bauhaus of reinforced concrete and glass curtain-walling, with a plan and elevations assembled with a studied asymmetry which was doubtless inspired by Dutch abstract or Neo-Plasticist painters such as Mondrian and van Doesburg. Resembling a factory, though there was no real justification for its doing so, it exercised a chilling influence during the next half-century on the design of a range of building types such as schools, houses and flats, which were also made to look like factories. This radical minimalist architecture was the result of an attempt to reject everything ‘bourgeois’ or ‘impure’, including pitched roofs, columns, ornament, mouldings, symmetry, generosity, and warmth. The result is leaking flat roofs in constant need of repair; absence of cornices, so that the white plastered walls are always streaked and stained; rusting metal windows; narrow corridors; low rooms; lack of privacy on the one hand, and of splendour on the other; gracelessly exposed mechanical services; and excessive use of glass, causing near-insoluble problems of heat loss and gain. The survival for fifty years, even in the homes of the rich, of such an aesthetic—for aesthetic it is, lacking in functional justification—is one of the longest-running showings in history of the tale of the emperor’s new clothes.

--David Watkin, A History of Western Architecture (1986)

"I wouldn't be surprised if this man were insane. He wouldn't be the first one who'd gone mad studying the processes of the mind."

"Precisely, Captain. I compliment you on your sagacity."

"You know, it's people like you that have caused me to steer clear of all this book psychology."
