The _____ was a hugely influential centre of inter-war modernist architecture. Its design ethos was
propagated by several key members of its teaching staff who immigrated to the United States during the 1930s.
Combining ideas from Russian Constructivism movement, the Dutch De Stijl group, and the American architect Frank
Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), as well as an attitude to crafts modeled on the Arts & Crafts movement and the Deutscher
Werkbund, Bauhaus design - with its clean lines and deliberate absence of ornamentation - eventually developed into
the International Style of modern architecture, and later spread to the United States, where it was developed by Walter
Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and other European emigrants like Richard Neutra.
