| Questão | Responda |
| Walter Gropius | Founder and First director of the Bauhaus; Replaced Henry Van De Velde |
| Why was the Bauhaus named so? | Bau: building ; haus: House Gropius believed "the ultimate end of all artistic activity is the building"; first sentence of the bauhaus manifesto |
| Marianne Brandt | 1st women to teach a workshop other than weaving; created some of the metal objects most closely associated with the Bauhaus aesthetic |
| "kandem" lamp - Marianne Brandt; successfully fulfilled the objective to put student and faculty work into production | |
| Drafting room in the Weimer Bauhaus; lamps were designed by Marianne Brandt | |
| Herbert Bayer | Explored designs for a universal sans-serif typeface with no uppercase characters |
| Model B3 "club" armchair (later "Wassily") | Marcel Breuer; Manufactured by Thonet; chair later called Wassily because Wassily Kandinsky asked Breuer to make some for his residence. |
| Mannesmann Manufacturing | Perfected a process for manufacturing seamless tubular steal (welded steal tubes would crack when bent) |
| B33 side chair | Marcel Breuer; Kinked in the middle of the base so that the chair would sit flat (appears in other works by him); often erroneously attributed to mark Stam |
| S33 Side Chair | Mark Stam; Won the patent rights in Germany for this type form against marcel Breuer (neither of them were the first to invent it) |
| Weimar to Dessau 1925 | The Nazi Party was elected into power in Weimar and promptly withdrew support from the school. The Mayor from Dessau invited the Bauhaus to be located in Dessau. |
| Hannes Meyer | Became director after Gropius and some of the other faculty resigned. Did not discourage political activism and thus in 1930 was thrown out along with the entire student body, of which were selectively let back in |
| Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe | Third (and Final) director of the Bauhaus) |
| Dessau to Berlin 1932 | The Bauhaus moved to Berlin because again the Nazi Party was elected into power, the Nazis hated the bauhaus because it was not "German" |
| De Stijl aesthetic | Supremacy of the straight line, flat plane, and primary colors |
| "military" side chair | Gerrit Rietveld - employed the seemingly less sophisticated rabbeted joint technique to joint this chair in comparison to his previous red and blue chair |
| Schroder House | Gerrit Rietveld- Utrecht, Netherlands; De Stijl; Commissioned by Truus Schorder, who later became Rietveld's Second Wife |
| Charlotte Perriand | Almost all credit for the furniture that came out of Corbusier's Office is attributed to her |
| Fauteuil Grand Confort | Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Perriand (actually Perriand); the grand confort had a painted steal frame because chrome plating wasn't not readily available until the late 1920s |
| Petit Confort Sofa | Variation of the Grand Confort created by the manufacturer; Corbusier objected it so the manufacturer simply waited until after he died to start producing it. |
| Petit and Grand Confort Series | Corbusier and this series as well as other furniture from his office has nothing to do with the Bauhaus |
| Chaise Longue | Corbusier, Jeanneret, Perriand (actually Perriand); profile inspiration came from an American cowboy reclining against a tree. |
| Swivel Chair and Stool | Corbusier, Jeanneret, Perriand; These Stools where designed by Perriand BEFORE she started working at Corbusier's office |
| Chair | Erich Dieckmann - Used Elsengarn (iron Yarn) Extremely study fabric developed at the Bauhaus by Grete Reichardt |
| Lounge Chair | Erich Dieckmann - Designs similar to that of marcel Breuer's but are distinguished by their much more fluid curves |
| Lounge Chair | Erich Dieckmann - The looping form resembles and air foil |
| Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe | Third and Final director of the Bauhaus |
| Barcelona Chair | Mies Van Der Rohe - Made for the King and Queen of Spain during a Worlds Fair, Technology and the cost of manufacturing reflect the fact that they where never meant to be made in large quantities |
| "brno" Chairs | Mies Van Der Rohe - Two Versions: flat-strap steel or tubular steel; tubular is much cheaper to manufacture |
| Lilly Reich | Often Collaborated with Mies Van Der Rohe starting in 1930, later cofounded the "New Bauhaus" with him |
| "teardrop" Car | Edmund Rumpler - Perhaps the first streamlined automobile |
| GPO "Candlestick" Telephone | It's form is designed to take advantage of the manufacturing process (turned on a lathe); its form evolved from the manufacturing process |
| Siemen's "neophone" telephone | 1st all-plastic telephone; made form Bakelite |
| Gerneral Electric's monitor Top Refrigerator | called "monitor-top" because the condensing coils looked like the cannon turret on top the Civil war gunship USS Monitor |
| Stamppati "Americania" Pasta Maker | Chromium Plating steel became commercially available in 1925, became popular for its anti rust properties |
| Ford Model A | Ford Switched to the Model A in direct response to competition (mostly from Chevrolet) |
| Harvey Earl | Hired by General Motors to head a corporate design group in Detroit |
| Walter Dorwin Teague | Transformed his office from Graphic Design to one of the 1st Industrial Design Consulting firms in the country |
| Duesenberg Model J boat-tailed speedster | Streamlined for efficiency; "it's a Doozy" phrase comes from this car because it was so beautiful. |
