Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (18 May 1883 – 5 July 1969) was a German-American architect and founder of the Bauhaus School,[1] who, along with Alvar Aalto, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modernist architecture. He was a founder of Bauhaus in Weimar (1919).[2] Gropius was also a leading architect of the International Style.[3] Gropius emigrated from Germany to England in 1934 and from England to the United States in 1937, where he spent the rest of his life.
