'''Walter Gropius''' (Berlin, May 18, 1883 – Boston, July 5, 1969) was a German [[architect]], theorist and teacher, who founded the [[Bauhaus school]].
<blockquote>
Gropius created innovative designs that borrowed materials and methods of construction from modern technology. This advocacy of industrialized building carried with it a belief in team work and an acceptance of standardization and prefabrication. Using technology as a basis, he transformed building into a science of precise mathematical calculations. [http://www.archiplanet.org/architects/Walter_Gropius.html]
