The influence of the Bauhaus movement is evident in much of modern design. And while modern designers will never have the chance to study with the likes of Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, they can now spend a few nights in the rooms where their genius was manifested. The Dessau campus of the Bauhaus school – now a museum – has opened the 28 dorm rooms of its Studio Building to the public to rent on a nightly basis. And to make the experience of living like a Bauhausler all the more authentic, the bathrooms are still shared.
