Discover a selection of Bauhaus architecture houses available on Airbnb to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first exhibition in the history of the movement
100 years ago, on August 15, 1923, in Weimar (Germany), the first exhibition of the Bauhaus school of art and design was held, one of the most innovative and revolutionary movements on the European and world architectural scene of the 20th century.
Pure and rigorous geometric shapes, functional aesthetics and bright spaces are the signs of the philosophy of the School founded by Walter Gropius, considered one of the most influential and significant expressions of the modernist movement.
Today, more than a century later, not only does his legacy live on, but the style continues to inspire interior design and architecture. To relive a piece of architectural history, Airbnb has selected 10 Bauhaus or style-inspired houses available on the platform. Watch!
