patron saint of bauhaus

"Act as if you were going to live forever and cast your plans way ahead. By this I mean you must feel responsible without time limitation, and the consideration whether you may or may not be around to see the results should never enter your thoughts. If your contribution has been vital, there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off and that will be your claim to immortality." -Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus school of Architecture and mentor and professor of Bruce Abrahamson.
Mr. Abrahamson began the architecture firm HGA in the 1950's and sadly passed away last week. His vital contributions to design and his innovative vision will continue. The words of Walter Gropius, his instructor at Harvard, constantly inspired him. We will miss you! to read more about him please click here.
