Querido Pedro,

“Todo objeto, un recipiente, una silla,

una cosa, está determinado por su razón 

de ser y, para concederle una forma

realmente racional, hay que investigar 

su carácter en profundidad.”

(Walter Gropius)

Saludos,

Querida Cristina,

La casa de los maestros de la Bauhaus Wassily 

Kandisky y Paul Klee fueron restauradas con rigor 

por la Fundación Wüstenrot en 2019 y podrán 

visitarse para experimentar el espacio en donde 

vivieron estos dos grandes artistas con sus familias 

en los años veinte del siglo pasado.

Un abrazo enorme.

Dear Marianne,

"When I was a small boy, somebody asked me what 

my favorite color was. For some years my family 

poked fun at me saying, after some hesitation: 

Multicolor is my favorite color. The strong desire to include every vital component of life instead of 

excluding part of them for the sake of too narrow and dogmatic is an approach has characterized my whole 

life" (Walter Gropius)

Respectfully.

Dear Dan,

"A modern building should derive its architectural significance solely from the vigour and consequence 

of its own organic proportions. It must be true to itself, logically transparent, and virginal of lies or trivialities." (Walter Gropius)

Sincerely.

469. Bauhausbauten in Dessau

Dear Sybille,

The Torten district in Dessau was built between 1926
and 1928 for the Reichsforschungsgesellschaft by
Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. The new district was
organized from a central small square where the tall
cooperative building was located. From there, and
spreading out in concentric rings, two-story row houses
with small gardens behind were laid-out.

Best regards.

Dear Silke,

"...the symmetrical relationships of the parts of the building
and their orientation towards a central axis is being
replaced by a new conception of equilibrium which
transmutes this dead symmetry of similar parts into an
asymmetrical but rhythmical balance" (Walter Gropius)

Best regards
R

Querido Alfonso,

Es quiza una de esas pequeñas ironias de la vida que
usted, el maestro mayor de la Catedral de Sevilla,
fuese la primera persona a la que oi hablar
apasionadamente de la Bauhaus. He leido de este
edificio, que posee un equilibrio dinamico. Luego he
pensado que es el contrapunto perfecto al majestuoso
estaticismo de la "Montaña Hueca".

Un saludo muy afectuoso.
