Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine
arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicised and taught.
It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, translated means
"house of construction"
One of the main objectives
of the Bauhaus was to unify art, craft, and technology. The Bauhaus had a major
impact on art and architecture trends in Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Israel in the years following it closure. Because many of the
artists involved had to leave Germany because of the
Nazi regime they were scattered and things may have evolved differently.
One of the architects was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe He is commonly referred to, and was
addressed, as Mies. Along
with Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, he is widely regarded as one of the
pioneering masters of modern
architecture.
Mies
sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times
just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created a
twentieth century architectural style which was simplistic. He used materials
such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces. He was
aiming for architecture with a minimal framework. He called his buildings "skin and
bones" architecture and open spaces.
This
I think describes the Bauhaus style. Tubular steel furniture,
primary coloured triangles and the fundamental modernist desire to change the
world.
