Before the Bauhaus reevaluates the political, architectural, and artistic cultures of pre-World War I Germany. The world or architects, craftsmen and applied-arts 'artists' were not immune to the issues leading up to the First World War. This study substantially revises our understanding of the roots of the Bauhaus and, by extension, the historical roots of twentieth-century German architecture and design.
