In times of gloom and doom, there is often a need for the charismatic energy of great ideas.
Back in 1919 German architect Walter Gropius regarded the miserable period following the end of the World War I as a "catastrophe of world history."
His response was a bold and yet surprisingly pragmatic utopian vision - the Bauhaus.
By establishing this new kind of art school he managed to create a cultural wonder that continues to have a profound impact to this day.
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the school: A series of events and exhibitions are poised to remind us that, without Gropius, the world of architecture and design would look very different in the present day.
