Bauhaus

Bauhaus was found in a Crafts and Fine Arts School in Germany, the school operated between the 1919 to 1933. The Bauhaus school was found by an Architect Walter Gropius in Weimar. The name Bauhaus means "house of construction" in spite of the name and the face that it was found by an Architect the school itself didint have an Architecture depratament during its first years of existance.

The style Bauhaus became on of the most influential styles in Modernist Architecture and Modern Design. Bauhaus has also had a profound influence in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design and typography.

The Bauhaus school existed in three different cities in Germany:
  • Weimar (1919-1925)
  • Dessau (1925-1932)
  • Berlin (1932-1933)
The school also had Three different Architects-Directors
  • Walter Gropius (1919-1928)
  • Hannes Meyer (1928-1930)
  • Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1930-1933)
The Bauhaus school got closed in 1933 by its own leadership which got pressured by the Regime of the Nazis.

These two posters are both in Bauhaus style which  I really like as it looks really simple, the lines are straight and the colours are normally solid. I think that Bauhaus is one of the best styles ever made as it just brings so much new stuff to the Design industry.



These photos below show us the Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany.
