BAUHAUS NEW ENGLAND Portraits of an Architectural Legacy

Bauhaus New England serves as a visual tribute to the enduring influence of the Bauhaus philosophy on privately owned residences in New England. In a collection of striking black-and-white photographs and selected essays, the book offers intimate portraits of rarely seen historic houses and an architectural legacy at risk of fading away.

Mark Römisch’s images capture the homes’ poetic personality as lived space through their unique blendof form, function and the organic integration  of nature. The architectural portraits explore light, geometry and the dialogue between modernist architecture and nature. Essays by art historians and personal contributors, including Walter Gropius’s granddaughter, Erika Pfammatter, contextualise the photos within the broader Bauhaus legacy in America and the intersection of architecture, art and transatlantic history.
