Walter Gropius (1883–1969) gehört als Begründer des Bauhauses zu den Ikonen der Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Während die frühen Bauten in Pommern noch stark von seinem Lehrer Peter Behrens geprägt waren, gelangte er über eine expressionistische, das Handwerk betonende Phase schließlich zur geometrischen Abstraktion. Er arbeitete dabei stets mit anderen Architekten zusammen und gründete in den USA das Kollektiv The Architects Collaborative. Die umfassende Monografie dokumentiert sämtliche 74 bekannten, realisierten Bauten Gropius‘, auch zahlreiche frühe Werke, die er selbst nie veröffentlichte; sie setzt sich aber auch mit seinen ungebauten Projekten auseinander. Illustriert wird das Buch durch neue Fotografien des Autors, historische Abbildungen sowie neu vom Autor gezeichnete Pläne. <UL> <LI>Zum Bauhaus-Jubiläum: Das architektonische Schaffen des Begründers </LI> <LI>Fundierte Dokumentation seiner Bauten durch einen ausgewiesenen Kenner seines Werkes </LI> <LI>Mit ca. 60 einheitlich neu gezeichneten Plänen des Autors </LI></UL>
