Founded by architect Walter Gropius in Weimar Germany in 1919 and closed by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus school has had a huge global influence on art, architecture and design.

As Bauhaus Effects, a major conference marking the 100-year anniversary of the Bauhaus school takes place this weekend, we spoke to organiser and NCAD lecturer Francis Halsall about the movement, its influence and legacy.
