 The Man Who Would Be Gropius | Metropolis Magazine | February/March 2000
As director of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation since October 1998, he runs one of the three German institutions (the other two are the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin and the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar) devoted to the study of the buildings and works that were produced by the legendary school.
The ambitious director, who is as critical of the Dessau regional government's bloated bureaucracy (inherited from the former East Germany) as he is of so-called Bauhaus Modernism, quickly drew fire for distancing the foundation from bread-and-butter development projects in the area.
Dessau, where the school moved after political pressure closed its Weimar base, has become a pilgrimage destination for those thrilled to be able to see the Gropius-designed building in the post-Cold War era.
