Bauhaus x 2

The Bauhaus, an avant-garde German art school founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, taught revolutionary ideas and techniques that found their way into nearly every aspect of arts, crafts, typography, architecture, and design. Its centennial has been marked with numerous events throughout the year. Here at two taking place in LA this week.
