Architect i admire

The architect i am going to talk about today is Walter Gropius.He was an architect, ubanist and designer.
Gropius was born in Germany and was son of an architect.
He founded the Design School named Bauhaus in 1919, were the students were taught to use modern materials to createoriginal and functional objects, furniture and buildings. He was in charge of  the institution until 1928.
Then he continued his work, making big blocks of houses, because he thought that it was the solution to the social and urban issues.
In 1934 he left germany, because of the nazis, to England for three years before moving to the United States.
His work is known for representing the bauhaus style, because they are made with new materials that gives a modern look, wich was not known in that time.
The appearence are smooth and with clear lines and don't have ornamental elements that are unnesessary. He is the creator of the "international style" in architecture.
Some of his work are: The gropius House (Germany), Bauhaus School(Germany) and PanAm Tower (New York).
When i first hear about Gropius was when i had the History of Design class back in 2012 when i was in my first year of university, i remember i really liked that class beacuse the theacher knew a lot and he made the classes very fun.
I like this architect because of the simplicity of his work and because he tried to make everything ver functional.
