This school of construction and artistic design completely changed the principles and concepts of world architecture, laid the foundations of modern design. The works of Walter Gropius, Hannes Mayer, Laszlo Mohoi-Nadya, Vasily Kandinsky (all of them were teachers of this school) helped to take shape in the style that became decisive in architecture and art of the entire twentieth century.
