Magdalena Droste's Bauhaus is a comprehensive exploration of the revolutionary design school that transformed modern art, architecture, and design. From its founding in 1919 to its closure by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus pioneered a philosophy that merged art, craft, and technology. Droste examines the school's key figures, teaching methods, and lasting influence, revealing how a brief experimental moment created principles that still shape contemporary design.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because the Bauhaus proved that good design isn't decoration, it's philosophy made visible. This book shows us how a small school in Germany created the visual language of modernity, demonstrating that the most radical ideas often come from asking the simplest questions about form and function.
