With its strong emphasis on students acquiring practical, craft skills alongside more formal design expertise, the Bauhaus provides a significant 20th‐century precedent for current schools of architecture focusing on learning through making. Architect and urban planner Barbara Elisabeth Ascher describes how the approach to pedagogy in architecture evolved during the Bauhaus's 14‐year history (1919‐33), and the shift in leadership from Walter Gropius to Hannes Meyer and then finally to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
