The Bauhaus Design Movement has been the greatest single influence in the man made environment of The 20th Century.

This book is a comprehensive visual record fo Bauhaus's achievement, with detailed coverage of all the key themes, including architecture, interior and industrial design, ceramics, graphics, metalwork, textiles, painting and sculpture, and the performing arts.
