GREAT VIDEO JOHN, AND A GREAT EDUCATION. I LEARNED SO MUCH. THE BAUHAUS MOVEMENT IS A CLASSIC, TIMELES FORM OF ART AND DESIGN. I AM GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR THE BAUHAUS MOVEMENT. I AM STILL LEARNING ABOUT IT.
@bctld it was a cool campus with low height buildings made of cement, glass and wood. It was an early 1970's build so Gropius himself had nothing to do with it. I'm pretty sure he was dead by the time they got the contract. The style was bordering on brutalist but it was quite striking as far as design goes and had a really cool layout with lots of open spaces that would force your to interact with other students in between classes and had cement breezeways and bridges between buildings which were great until they started collapsing. It did blend really well with the area and had a fantastic location in the national seashore. Pretty sure it is the only school in America completely inside of a national park and I have no idea how the district got the permission to build a 70+ acre campus on federally owned/ protected land. Unfortunately the quality of construction wasn't the best so by the time I went there in the late 2000's it was getting pretty rough. You could tell that at one point it was really nice though. It is currently being redone by Flansburgh. It is called Nauset Regional Highschool if you were curious. Great video though Gropius doesn't get the notoriety he deserves.
Moholy Nagy is pronounced Moholy Nodge. BTW why don't you mention the true founding father of the pre World War Weimar Kunstgewerbeschule, that turned into Bauhaus after WW1; Henry Vande Velde? He is quoted as being the man who pointed out Gropius as the head of the Bauhaus.
Thanks for the info! Henry Vande Velde is mentioned in my video about the Bauhaus if you want to check it out. Probably would have been worth mentioning here too.

Good editing and informative content however watching you read off a screen isn't quite entertaining I might have to say
Yeah I gotta get my teleprompter set up. Maybe in the next couple I’ll do that. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
Is this wikipedia?
Walking wiki
His company, The Architects Collective designed my former high school on Cape Cod.
That’s awesome! Was it an enjoyable building? Thank you for watching!
