Walter Gropius was one of the founding fathers of Modernism. He created the Bauhaus, which embraced elements of art, architecture, graphic design, and interior design in its design. Gropius was very interested in newly developed factories. In 1908 he joined the studio of Peter Behrens, a German architect and industrial designer. He worked alongside Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. However, Gropius was the first one to put his modernist ideas to work. He and Adolf Meyer designed the Fagus Factory. After the Bauhaus was closed it gained its popularity in the Western world with an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
