The Hidden History of the Geodesic Dome - Part 3: The Teamwork of Walter Gropius

Website: https://www.ZipTieDomes.com - "The Hidden History of the Geodesic Dome - Part 3: The Teamwork of Walter Gropius" describes the handicap of Walter Gropius that made him into one of the most influential architects of the 20th Century. Because of his handicap, Walter Gropius achieved his goals by working through other people, and harnessed their abilities to produce efficient and practical architecture. Since he worked through other people and did not accept full credit for giving his inspiration to other people to carry out his ideas, Walter Gropius may be the connection between the geodesic dome design of Walther Bauersfeld in 1924 in Jena, Germany, and the geodesic dome design of Buckminster Fuller in 1948 at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA. Of all of the people I have studied, Walter Gropius has made the greatest impression on my work, as Gropius did not seek his own fame, but tried the make the world into a better place by promoting his ideas through the achievements of those who worked with him. Walter Gropius is an excellent example of how to foster teamwork in a very positive way.

Music: Salut d'Amour (Liebesgruß or "Love's Greeting"), Op. 12, written by Edward Elgar in 1888 as an engagement present for his future wife, Caroline Alice Elgar. This is one of the most beautiful romantic musical compositions I have ever heard.
