Walter Gropius officially opened the State Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, merging the Grand-Ducal Saxon Academy of Fine Arts with the Saxon School of Arts and Crafts. The school aimed to unite art, craft, and technology under a new design philosophy, rejecting the separation of fine and applied arts. Although the school had been established by decree earlier in the year, October 1 marked the formal commencement of its educational program and the gathering of its initial faculty and students.
It became the most influential school of design, architecture, and applied arts in history.
