The Bauhaus Archive in Berlin follows plans Walter Gropius produced in 1964. His former colleague Alex Cvijanović adapted them with Berlin architect Hans Bandel. The Senate of Berlin supplied the space and money. The infobox gives only 1960, the founding year, while the text says the foundation stone was laid in 1976 and the building was ready by 1979.
The article names no style or materials. It says semicircular, fin-like saw-tooth shed roofs remain from Gropius' design. A planned extension by Staab Architekten would add 72,000 square feet (6,700 square meters).
A conservation order came in 1997, and the building served as a film set in 2005 for V for Vendetta and Æon Flux. As of 2026 it is closed for construction, with reopening scheduled for 2027. A temporary space operates at Knesebeckstraße 1. The article gives no hours.
