Walter Gropius: Bauhaus

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is there a definitive book ?

I have read several over the years and have a friend who's curious and I would like to point them in the right direction.
End of line.

I read his book "The New Architecture and The Bauhaus" - captivating stuff, really helped me get an insight into the movement and the philosophy. His house is near our office in Boston, definitely worth a visit if you're up that way - and the Neue Galerie in New York has some fantastic Bauhaus stuff.
