Walter gropius


1910
What i like about this building that i discovered by Walter Gropius is the reaction it provokes when we realise this was designed over a 100 years ago, the use of glass predominatelt to one side and the clean compactness of the structure gives the impression it is a far more recent design than 1910.


The Walter house, designed for his own personal use again appears to be far more recent design than it actually is, my first impression would be a 1970s design however this was finished in 1938.
We can see comparisons to his previous work which he designed before his experiences during the first world war which lead him to say "start again from zero"
