Walter Gropius, a German-born architect, designed simple “glass box”

buildings that they changed the look of cities worldwide. He was particularly

influential from 1919 to 1932, which he was the director at the Bauhaus a

German school of design. At the Bauhaus, Gropius was a leader of the

International Style, that helped reshape architecture. In contrast to the ornately

decorated stone structures that were popular in earlier times, Gropius created

steel and glass buildings that had straight lines and no decoration. He made

another major contribution to the building industry by making designs that

builders could mass-produce them. Gropius was also known for his belief in
the value of teamwork. In conclusion, Gropius and his followers, whom are

famous from Toronto to Tokyo, have influenced architecture to this day.
