Gropius' "Towards a New Architecture"

Walter Gropius' "Towards a New Architecture" advocates for replacing ornate, historical styles with functional, honest design driven by purpose. He emphasizes the importance of simplicity, experimentation, and the integration of new materials like steel and glass. Gropius believes architecture should reflect modern needs, be accessible, and contribute to a better society. His ideas promote clarity, efficiency, and the use of technology to create buildings that serve their users effectively, inspiring a shift toward modernism that balances aesthetics with practicality.
