The Dessau Masters' Houses
The Masters' Houses were designed in Gropius' private office with
the help of Carl Fieger and other colleagues, and they were built
from September 1925 - July 1926 under the site managers Hans Volger
and Heinz Nösselt. With regards to concept, design, building
technique and building time the Dessau Masters' Houses were constructed
in parallel with the Bauhaus building. True to his 1923 credo, Gropius
wanted to "create a clear organic building,
bare and radiant whose sense of meaning derives from itself by the
clear tension created by its size versus its functions. Everything
that is unnecessary is rejected as it disguises the absolute design
of the building".
