I was an Architecture major at the University of Washington in the early 60s. It was what could be called a Bauhaus school. Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer were held up as gods. They weren't, but they were involved with one of the most amazing schools of creativity from 1919 until 1933, when Hitler shut their decadent asses down. This site is a good overview of that brief rennaisance.

The Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design

The Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design in Berlin is concerned with the research and presentation of the history and impact of the Bauhaus (1919-1933), the most important school of architecture, design, and art of the 20th century. [Ed. — No shit!]
