Laboratory: Doing “Bauhaus” exercises and exploring a building which seems like a Bauhaus idea exploded to “real life scale”

We will start a discussing a so-called “Bauhaus” design course which I took freshman year at Princeton School of Architecture (given by the architects Michael Graves and Richard Meier — both soon to be very famous) and I plan to ask the people in my “laboratory” to do at least one of our exercises (a very simple one) and then talk about what they “learned”.  I want to culminate with a walk around one great building Northwestern has on its campus which was designed out of the American “Bauhaus” generation — Walter Netsch’s University Library, he being back and forth between Gropius’ Harvard and MIT as an architecture student just after World War II.
