History

Historical Context

In 1919 architect Walter Gropius launched the Bauhaus in Weimar with state and private backing, enrolling 200 students in its first fully funded cohort. Political pressure forced the school to move to Dessau in 1925, and its legacy earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1996. Today Dongkuk Steel’s Songwon Cultural Foundation mirrors that model, fully sponsoring architecture fellows in Korea.
