The name Bauhaus stems from the German words for "to build" and "house."

DEFINITION

Bauhaus is a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts.

It operated from 1919 to 1933,

it publicized and taught for the approach to design

The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius

Ironically, despite its name and the fact its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department for the first several years of its existence

Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design

The school existed in three German cities under three different architect-directors (Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1927, Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930 to 1933).

1. Weimar from 1919 to 1925 2. Dessau from 1925 to 1932

3. Berlin from 1932 to 1933

most student should face the fact that their future should be involved primarily with industry and mass production rather than with individual craftsmanship

teachers in schools of design should be men who are in advance of their profession rather than safely and academically in the rearguard

the schools of design should, as the Bauhaus did, bring together the various arts of painting, architechture, theatre, photography, weaving, typography, etc., into a modern synthesis which disregards conventional distinctions between the "fine" and "applied" arts

a school of design should have on its faculty the purely creative and interested artist such as the easel painter as a spiritual counterpoint to the practical technician in order that they may work and teach side by side for the benefit of the student

PHILOSOPHY OF BAUHAUS :

manual experience of materials is essential to the student of design- experience at first confined to free experiment and then extended to the practical workshop

the study of rational design in terms of techniques and materials should be only the first step in the development of a new and modern sense of beauty

because we live in the 20th century, the student architect or designer should be offered no refuge in the past but should be equipped for the modern world in its various aspects, artistic, technical, social, economic, spiritual, so that he may function in society not as a decorator but as a vital participant.

In 1920 two important artistic events help to change the Bauhaus.

1.One was as international conference of the awant-grad that the idea on purity of form and honesty of construction to establish a new constructivist international.

2. The other was the major exhibition of Soviet design arranged interest not only in constructivism but also the social aims which informed it.

along with Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, is widely regarded as one of

the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

major architects of bauhaus movement :

Between 1919 and 1933 the German school art and design called the Bauhaus was producing designs which were truly made for mass production but it was thirty years later that industry caught up with this thinking and was able to manufacture the designs for products such as furniture and lighting cheaply enough and in large quantities .

Many of the designs we now regard as design classics originate from the bauhaus

One of the main objectives of the bauhaus was to unify art, craft , and technology

The machine was considered a positive element , and therefore industrial and product design were important components.The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design and typography.

INTERIOR :

Bauhaus and other avante-gardes of the early 20th century,

1923.

Bauhaus Door KnobArguably the most famous piece designed by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus doorknobs geometric forms and industrial flourishes, such as exposed screws, set the tone for what the Bauhaus aesthetic was about

Bauhaus LampProbably the most iconic piece of lighting to come out of the Bauhaus, William Wagenfeld's lamp, constructed of precisely cut glass and metal, is among the first objects to emerge under the Bauhaus' technology-focused regime.

PRODUCT DESIGNING:

Bauhaus Tea InfuserDesigned in 1924 by Marianne Brandt, the Bauhaus tea infuser has a built-in strainer, non-drip spout, and heat-resistant handle made of ebony, embracing the school's principals of combining functionality and aesthetic.

Barcelona ChairDesigned in 1929 by future Bauhaus head Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and partner Lily Reich, the gentle, swooping lines Barcelona chair served as a precursor of what was to come with the mid-century modern furniture movement

MARCEL BEUER CHAIR

Bauhaus Wasilly ChairOf all the chairs to come out of the Bauhaus, this is the one that commonly comes to mind. Designed my Marcel Breuer, the Wasilly chair is a mix of steel and leather, using no more material than is absolutely needed, while providing maximum comfort. It's a design you'll still find in homes today.

Marcel Breuer chair, one of the very first tubular steel chairs, designed in

1925.

Bauhaus Chess SetDesigned in 1922 by Josef Hartwig, the best part about the chess pieces is that the design of each also indicates the type of movement it is capable of

Bauhaus Nesting TablesNothing quite says "smart" like five separate tables that fit into the footprint of one. And the use of colors with each table is something that would be revisited by Ray and Charles Eames decades later
