A Bauhaus Bathroom

In a special Summit presentation on November 13, Historic New England announced an international design competition to reimagine the arrival experience at Gropius House, the Lincoln, Massachusetts home of modernist pioneer Walter Gropius. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus Dessau, the competition invites innovative proposals for a permanent public restroom and redesigned visitor center that honor Gropius’s enduring legacy and addresses this long-standing problem.
