Sometimes people talk about the intellect and emotion as though the two are separate – it was very much a Bauhaus idea to bring them together. Once there, they found such a huge demand for housing from others fleeing Europe that they built an entire Bauhaus city in less than a decade. I first encountered Bauhaus design aged 14, at an open day for my father’s MA course at Central Saint Martins. It’s a housing estate conceived as an international showcase of what became the international style of modern architecture.
