It is intended to acquaint the reader with the significant milestones in Bauhuas history- significant in the immediate as well as in the secondary sense- and as a detailed commentary to the documented facts. It was not our aim to establish a theory. Final judgment about the accomplishment of the Bauhuas will undergo many changes for a long time to come; this is a sure sign of its vitality. This presentation serves exclusively to supply source material. It would be most welcome if the material here presented would contribute to further intellectual studies." - Preface, page ix.
