Marcel Lajos Breuer – Lajkó to his friends – was born on 21 May 1902 in the provincial city of Pecs, Hungary.
Breuer left his hometown at the age of 18 in search of artistic training and was one of the first and youngest students at the Bauhaus.
He was recognized by Gropius as a significant talent and was quickly put at the head of the Carpentry Shop.

Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) numbers among the most important and prolific designers of the twentieth century.
Today he is best known for his furniture. The tubular steel pieces created by Breuer during his tenure at the Bauhaus and during the following years, which have enjoyed unflagging popularity for decades, must be counted among the great classics of modernism.

One of the masters of Modernism, architect and furniture designer, Breuer extended the sculptural vocabulary he had developed in the carpentry shop at the Bauhaus into a personal architecture that made him one of the world’s most popular architects at the peak of 20th-Century design.

Breuer , one of the most influential exponents of the international style; he was concerned with applying new forms and uses to newly developed technology and materials in order to create an art expressive of an industrial age.
![Page 11: 14. marcel breuer abrham zebene](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022102715/589f36651a28ab4d568b715d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
He followed the lead of Walter Gropius in espousing unit construction; i.e., the combination of standardized units to form a technologically simple but functionally complex whole.
In 1925, inspired by the design of bicycle handlebars, he invented the tubular metal chair; his original version is known as the Wassily chair.

Marcel Breuer's chair (1928) reflects the universal appeal movement through its lack of 'decoration' and timeless appeal. The chair strictly follows its function and does not include elements which are not necessary for its purpose.

Begrisch Hall
Begrisch Hall, composed of reinforced exposed concrete, is a building that mirrors the form and function of its interior.
The building is entered through a small exterior staircase or an enclosed walkway coming from an adjacent building.
