Art Itself Cannot Be Taught, But Craftsmanship Can. Architects, Painters, Sculptors Are All Craftsmen In The Original Sense Of The Word. Thus It Is A Fundamental Requirement Of All Artistic Creativity That Every Student Undergo A Thorough Training In The Workshops Of All Branches Of The Crafts.

More From Walter Gropius

The Mind Is Like An Umbrella. Its Most Useful When Open.

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 Which It Has Lost As Salon Art. Together Let Us Desire, Conceive, And Create The New Structure Of The Future, Which Will Embrace Architecture And Sculpture And Painting In One Unity And Which Will One Day Rise Toward Heaven From The Hands Of A Million Workers Like The Crystal Symbol Of A New Faith.

However Often The Thread May Be Torn Out Of Your Hands, You Must Develop Enough Patience To Wind It Up Again And Again.

Architecture Begins Where Engineering Ends.

A Modern, Harmonic And Lively Architecture Is The Visible Sign Of Authentic Democracy.
