2. Walter Gropius German architect born in Berlin Founder of the Bauhaus School May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969 “ Architects, painters, sculptors , we must all return to crafts! For there is no such thing as “ professional art” .
3. There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman . The artist is an exalted craftsman . By the grace of Heaven and in rare moments of inspiration which transcend the will, art may unconsciously blossom from the labour of his hand, but a base in handicrafts is essential to every artist. It is there that the original source of creativity lies”. - Walter Gropius
4. ‘ an eagerness to experiment, openess, creativity and a close link to industrial practice ’
