Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was
an art 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"—literally
"construction house"—was understood as meaning "School of
Building".
Walter Gropius
The Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar.
In spite of its name and the fact that its founder was an architect, the
Bauhaus, during the first years of existence, did not have an architecture
department.
Paul Citroen
Nonetheless, it was founded with the idea of creating a
"total" work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) in which all arts, including architecture,
would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style later became one of the
most influential currents in modern design, Modernist architecture and art,
design and architectural education. The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon
subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design,
industrial design, and typography.
