Who can tell me in layman's terms what the Bauhaus style is really like?

The so-called "Bauhaus style" is actually another name for "modernist style". The term "Bauhaus style" is a misinterpretation of the Bauhaus, which is a trend of thought, not a style in the full sense of the word.

"Bauhaus" is the German translation of Bauhaus, originally established in 1919 in Weimar, Germany, the name of a school of arts and crafts. The founder and first principal of the school, is the famous German modernist architect Gropius, who ingeniously transferred the German Hausbau (house building) into the word Bauhaus as the name of the school, in order to show the difference between the school and the traditional collegiate educational institutions. Another German architect, Mies van der Rohe, one of the masters of modernist architecture, was the third rector of the Bauhaus. The school moved to Dessau in 1925 and then to Berlin in 1933, where it was closed down by the Nazi fascists in the same year. Although the Bauhaus survived for only 14 years from its founding to its demise, its theories and doctrines have had a wide-ranging and far-reaching impact on the entire world, and the ripples are still felt everywhere.

Historical Contributions:

1. Emphasizing a collective approach to work, it was used to defeat the individual barriers of art education and lay the foundations for corporate work.

2. Emphasis on standards was used to break down the careless liberalization and non-standardization that had become an early part of art education.

3. Seek to establish a new system of education based on scientific foundations, emphasizing the combination of scientific, logical working methods and artistic expression. The above points have shifted the center of teaching and learning from the more personal art-based educational system to the direction of the science and technology-based system.

4, the design has always been flowing in the "creation of appearance" of the educational center of gravity to "solve the problem" up, and thus the design for the first time to get rid of the form of playing the ills, to really provide convenient, practical, economical, beautiful design system, for modern Design laid a solid foundation for the development of modern.

5. On the basis of the experiments of the Belgian designer Henri van der Wilde, various studios were created, such as gold, wood, ceramics, textiles, photography and so on. It united a group of accomplished artists and designers to intervene in design, and established design education on a scientific basis.

6, breaking the box of the old college-style art education, in 1920 the Bauhaus important instructor, color expert Johnny Eaton created the "basic course", before there is no such thing as a basic course. At the same time created a combination of large-scale industrial production, laid the foundation for the development of modern design education.

7. A group of specialists familiar with both traditional crafts and modern industrial production methods and design laws were trained, and a concise aesthetic style suitable for large-scale machine production methods was formed, raising the design of modern industrial products to a new level.
