The conflicting artistic philosophies of the school's key figures are considered, from Walter Gropius' espousal of expressionism to László Moholy-Nagy's belief that fewer aesthetic ambitions would yield more functional products--that less is more. With a stellar faculty that also included Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Breuer, Josef Albers, and Mies van der Rohe, the Bauhaus inspired the artistic and constructivist principles that gave rise to many icons of 20th-century design and architecture"--Container

Courtyard design strategies for Las Vegas. 2006

Klai::Juba lecture series. Public lecture taped on Nov. 1, 2006, in the School of Architecture, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

The UNLV School of Architecture and the Klai Juba Lecture series welcomes award-winning author and professor John S. Reynold, whose publications include Courtyard: aesthetic, social, and thermal delight, and Mechanical electrical equipment for building. Reynolds emphasizes the importance of courtyard sustainability and uses examples from cultures around the world. Reynolds, a resident of Eugene, Oregon compares the North American grid-like city to the plan of Colima, a Spanish settled city located in the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Reynolds believes that courtyards have the ability to make life better for the habitants of the household which in turn makes the residents proud of where they live. European cities frequently use spaces such as plazas (public spaces that are free of cars). Reynolds takes a look into the city planning of Cordova, Spain through aerial photographs, which indicates how important courtyards are to the residents as well as the culture.
