Have you heard these fantastic audio interviews hosted by UbuWeb with Walter Gropius discussing different aspects of the Bauhaus and the future of modern architecture. As if tht's not enough, there's even a bonus Mies van der Rohe one too. They're all great quality and in English, a real treat. Mixed in are contributions from other prominent Bauhaus figures too, including Albers and Schoenberg.

There's Gropius on the origins of the Bauhaus (5.34), on form and totality (3.00), on Klee, Itten, Kandinsky, Feininger and Moholy-Nagy (7.27), on Albers and functionalism (3.31), on selection and students (5.03), on Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (3.03), on industrial contracts (1.50), on utopianism (2.02), and possibly the best of all, on the future of architecture (3.03). And there's Mies on architecture as language (3.23) too.

Hear them all here.
