For my design project I decided to travel to Germany (particularly Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin) and study one of my favorite subjects, The Bauhaus 1919-1933. I wanted my main new source to be The New York Times because they have a fantastic Arts Section of their paper. It was discovered through my article, that perhaps one of the famous Bauhaus designers Franz Ehrlich was a designer for the Nazi's and helped them design the famous gate at the Buchenwald death camp that reads 'Jedem Das Seine'. After discovering the questionable career choice of one of the professors at the Bauhaus I decided to follow the other legendary Bauhaus figures such as Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius - which both moved to America and continued their architectural designing careers.
