Bauhaus

Bauhaus was a German school which specialized in arts and crafts. It was founded by an Architect called Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus style had a great impact on modern architecture and design as the design was based around how products would function most effectively hence ‘form follows function’. 

It was in operation for over 20 years from 1919 – 1933 in three locations within Germany. The first was in Weimar (1919 – 1925), then in Dessau (1925 – 1932) and finally in Berlin (1932 – 1933). The school closed by its leadership as they were under pressure with the Nazi command.

The Bauhaus style was very simple with the use of geometric shapes and clean lines and the removal of clutter from products made them very unique and well designed. In the Bauhaus products were made by machines and massed produced because of the simple but efficient designs which boosted the functionality of the product.

The Bauhaus style had great influences on developments including art, architecture, interior & industrial design and also graphic and typographic design.
