Walter Gropius (1883-1969) is known for his achievements in his effort to bring forth a new kind of architecture and his contribution towards the development of reformed schools of art and architecture. He founded the Bauhaus school that united art, nature, and technology. Walter Gropius believed that the relationship of a house to its landscape was of paramount importance. The house tour of his 1938 Lincoln home followed by a walk in the grounds reveal design strategies that have returned to architectural importance for Green or Sustainable Design in the 21st Century.
