What are the three basic ideas put forward by the Bauhaus in terms of design theory?

In terms of design theory, Bauhaus put forward three basic ideas:

One is the new unity of art and technology;

The second is that the purpose of design is human beings rather than products;

The third is that design must be carried out in accordance with the laws of nature and objectivity.

These points of view have played a positive role in the development of industrial design, so that modern design has gradually moved from idealism to realism, i.e., replacing artistic self-expression and romanticism with rational and scientific ideas. The ideal of Bauhaus is to save the fine artist from wandering away from the society.

So in the teaching of the Bauhaus seeks to exchange between all the plastic arts, and he incorporated everything from architecture, design, crafts, painting, sculpture, etc. into the education of the Bauhaus, which is a comprehensive design school whose design courses include new product design, graphic design, exhibition design, stage design, furniture design, interior design and architectural design.

Historical Contributions

1. Emphasis on a collective way of working, used to defeat the individual barriers of art education and to lay the foundations for corporate work. The emphasis on standards was used to break down the careless liberalization and non-standardization caused by art education.

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

3. Shifting the focus of education from design, which has always been in the "creation of appearance", to "problem solving", thus for the first time design has been free from playing with forms. Thus, the design for the first time to get rid of the ills of the play form, to really provide convenient, practical, economical, beautiful design system, laid a solid foundation for the development of modern design.
