Model 071_Bauhaus School, Dessau – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings changed everything that followed. The Bauhaus School in Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius and completed in 1925, stands as one of the most influential works of modern architecture. It was the physical embodiment of the Bauhaus movement’s ideals: the unity of art, craft, and technology. Its clean horizontal lines, curtain-wall glazing, and functional clarity became a global model for modern design.
This model captures the essence of that philosophy. The intersecting volumes, rhythmic façade, and sense of balance were carefully refined to scale to preserve the purity of Gropius’s vision. I wanted the cast to reflect the simplicity and purpose that defined a new era of architecture.
A small cast of a building that shaped the modern world.

Brief Overview:
The Bauhaus School in Dessau was designed by Walter Gropius as the home of the Bauhaus movement after its relocation from Weimar. Its modular composition of glass, concrete, and steel expressed the modernist principles of function, light, and structure. The building became a touchstone for twentieth-century design and remains one of the most studied works of modern architecture.

My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

Materials
Materials
My concete models are all made using a fine grain quickset cement with a polymer additive. This gives a good balance between strength and detail casting. However concrete is a brittle material so the models are delicate and can break with impact.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Concrete is a brittle material so these models are delicate objects. They can be chipped or cracked easily and need to be protected from knocks or falls.
My concrete mix is also not waterproof so you should protected your model from damp and moisture.
Extreme changes in temperature will cause expansion and contraction inside the concrete model potentially leading to cracks forming. Keep your model out of direct sunlight and away from heating systems.
