debauhaus1-10, Exercise 3: A five-event timeline

Model answer (one possible choice; check each date):

1. 1919: Gropius founds the Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar. It shows the starting point: a craft-based, guild-minded school whose manifesto does not mention machines.
2. 1923: the first exhibition and the "Art and Technology" lecture. It marks the shift of emphasis towards industry, though historians say it was gradual.
3. 1925 to 1926: the move to Dessau and the opening of the new building. It shows the school at its most productive and best known, working with industry.
4. 1933: the school dissolves under political pressure. It ends the institution and begins the spread of its people abroad.
5. 1953: the Ulm School of Design opens. It shows that the Bauhaus's ideas were reworked rather than copied, and that the legacy continued under other names.

Other defensible choices include 1914 (the standardisation argument), 1927 (Weissenhof) or 2019 (the centenary). The point is to give a reason for each pick, not to match a single correct list.
