Hannes Meyer | Vibepedia

Hannes Meyer was a Swiss architect and urban planner, best known as the second director of the Bauhaus Dessau from 1928 to 1930. A committed Marxist, Meyer advocated for functionalism and the social responsibility of architecture, believing buildings should serve the needs of the masses rather than the elite. His tenure at the Bauhaus was marked by significant reforms and a focus on industrial production and social ideals, though his political views ultimately led to his dismissal.
