Bauhaus contribution and influence on modern design

Contributions of the Bauhaus to modern design

1. Emphasis on standards, which were used to break down the careless liberalization and non-standardization caused by art education.

2. It sought to establish a new system of education based on science, emphasizing the combination of scientific, logical working methods 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 is free from playing with forms. Thus, the design for the first time to get rid of the ills of the form of play, to really provide convenient, practical, economical, beautiful design system, laying a solid foundation for the development of modern design.

4, cultivated a group of both familiar with the traditional craft and understand the modern industrial production methods and design laws of the specialists, formed a concise suitable for the large machine production methods of aesthetic style, the design of modern industrial products to a new level.

The influence of the Bauhaus on modern design

has been called the most influential and controversial art school of the 20th century, at the time it was the center of utopian thought and spirit. It created the educational philosophy of modern design and achieved irrefutable excellence in the theory and practice of art education.

The course of the Bauhaus is the course of the birth of modern design, and the course of building bridges between two very distant disciplines: art and mechanical technology. Whether in architecture, fine arts, or industrial design, the Bauhaus dominates.

Introduction to the Bauhaus

The Bauhaus School only existed for 14 years, but its influence lives on today. This is because its system refracted all the clues of the era in which Western civilization was moving from the industrial to the creative period, and in which there was a profound change in the structure of industry and in the pattern of commodities, and its products are an important remnant of the hidden symbols by which we can reveal this profound change.

The Bauhaus opened up the idea of a paradigm that strives to offer consumers new ways of life and dares to challenge the notion of pandering to the conventional. The market is not conservative, and great innovations eventually reach the masses. This model of construction was not only widely used in the 1960s in the United States during the Great Urban Renewal, but also 20 years later in China. We can still feel the impact of this model on our lives and the environment.

It was the Bauhaus School's challenging and pioneering spirit of change that created the first popular design culture of the last century. The Bauhaus valued the transformation of materials and the realization of function, which in turn emerged as a tendency toward simplicity. Square, circle, triangle, straight line, curve the most minimalist.

This kind of simplicity brings the idea of "less is more", advances the standard style that represents the spirit of mechanical aesthetics, and then advocates the popular soul of industrial design, forming the modern utopian thought that pushes the mass production into the stage of history, and implanting the minimalist aesthetics into the popular mind. The Bauhaus textbooks are dedicated to just such a baptism of thought and movement.
