BAUHAUS

The Bauhaus movement originally started as a School in Germany. It existed in German Cities first in Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933.

Walter Gropius founded the school of Bauhaus in Weimar and since then, other Architects were involved upon the development of its Art and Architecture.

Bauhaus Architecture focuses on Functionality, this in return was part of the development of the Modern Period or Modern Architecture. Therefore,k more simpified designs are used rather than complicated shapes and designs.

The Iconic Bauhaus school in Dessau

The Founders of the Bauhaus school are some of the most famous architects today. They are remembered for their monumental structures that are seen all over the world.

Honestly, aside of the Art Deco period, this is probably the period I like the most.

The three supermen of The Bauhaus Era.

The Farnsworth house is the 'holy grail' of the Modern Era. Designed by Mies Van De Rohe and was known for the famous Modern principle ' LESS IS MORE ' . Modernists from all over the world embraced this idea therefore developing it.

The Bauhaus Era is a huge leap in Architecture considering the amount of knowledge architects have put into their work stressing function along with aesthetics and design.

For me, without this era, Architects today wouldn't have the drive to consider the society, globalization, function, environment and other elements that are vital for a structure to be able to work in a certain place.
