The Bauhaus fights imitation, inferior craftsmanship and artistic dilettantism

We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation.

However often the thread may be torn out of your hands, you must develop enough patience to wind it up again and again.

If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.

Only work which is the product of inner compulsion can have spiritual meaning.

Society needs a good image of itself. That is the job of the architect.

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit . . .
