Few architectural schools have had such a broad, lasting impact on the discipline as Bauhaus, Walter Gropius’s (and later Hannes Meyer’s and Ludwig Mies van Der Rohe’s) all-encompassing German modernist design institution. On the eve of its centennial celebration (the school will turn 100 in 2019) Bauhaus is set to be cemented, quite literally, in design history with the opening of a museum dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of its extensive collections and archives. The museum, sponsored by the Foundation Bauhaus Dessau, will occupy a lot not far from the German city’s Gropius-designed headquarters, completed in 1926. The foundation will be accepting design proposals until April 13, 2015.
