The Bauhaus School

The Bauhaus School, founded in 1919 in Germany, was a revolutionary art and design institution that combined crafts and fine arts with a focus on functional design. It aimed to create a "total" environment where art, architecture, and everyday objects would integrate seamlessly. Influencing modern architecture and design, its principles emphasized simplicity, utility, and the use of new materials and technologies. The school's innovative teachings attracted notable figures like Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe and played a crucial role in shaping modernism in the 20th century, impacting various fields, including graphic design, furniture, and industrial design.
