Bauhaus New England: Portraits of an Architectural Legacy

An intimate portrait of Bauhaus-influenced New England homes as both stylistic legacy and lived space. Bauhaus New England serves as a visual tribute to the enduring influence of the Bauhaus philosophy on privately owned residences in New England. In a collection of striking black-and-white photographs and selected essays, the book offers intimate portraits of rarely seen historic houses and an architectural legacy at risk of fading away.Mark Römisch's images capture the homes’ poetic personality as lived space through their unique blend of form, function, and the organic integration of nature. The architectural portraits explore light, geometry, and the dialogue between modernist architecture and nature. Essays by art historians and personal contributors, including Walter Gropius’s granddaughter Erika Pfammatter, contextualize the photos within the broader Bauhaus legacy in America and the intersection of architecture, art, and transatlantic history.
