The Bauhaus School was an academy of art and design founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919 combining the Weimar Art Academy and the Weimar Arts and Crafts School
The Weimar Bauhaus, designed by Henry Van de Velde, is a tectonic expression of load bearing walls interrupted by window screens.
The school was founded in a time when Germany's economy was collapsing and the unemployment rates where higher than ever.

Bauhauss ideals
artist must recognize his social responsibility to the community and likewise, the community must accept and support the artist
AIM
use the principles of Classical architecture in its pure form without ornamentation
Bauhaus architects rejected details such as cornices, eaves, and other decorative elements
CHARACTERS
flat roofs smooth facades cubic shapes favor right angles(although some feature rounded corners and balconies)
Bauhausstylewascharacterizedby
-economy of method -a severe geometry of form -design that took into account the nature of the materials employed.
Bauhaus produced theories calling for the use of concrete, steel, wood, stucco and glass
Effect
most of the architects adhered to the principles of the Bauhaus-the result was a classical form of rational social housing with open floor plans, white walls, no drapes, and functional furniture.
A new way of life stood out: free of history, improvising, creative, with solidarity, and without reservation or fondness for the present.
In 1924 funding for the Bauhaus was cut so drastically at the instigation of conservative forces that it had to seek a new home

Walter Gropius resigned as director on April 1, 1928 under the pressure of constant struggles for the Bauhaus survival
Meyers work sought to shape a harmonious society Meyer promoted the development of affordable furniture, textiles, wallpaper and lamps for bluecollar workers
Gropius falsified Meyer's contribution until the end of his life Meyer was a Communist who politicized the School Eventually, increasingly active Communist students made Dessau's municipal government afraid of losing votes
Under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe the Bauhaus developed from 1930 into a technical college of architecture with subsidiary art and workshop departments.
After the Nazis became the biggest party in Dessau at the elections, opposition to the school had increased to such an extent that the city of Dessau withdrew its support . The Bauhaus was forced to move in September 1932.
Berlin
Under the pressure of the rising Nazi party,the faculty agreed on the final liquidation of the school. It took place on July 20th, 1933.
Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and other Bauhaus leaders migrated to the United States. The term International Style was applied to the American form of Bauhaus architecture. The name came from the book The International Style by historian and critic Henry-Russell Hitchcock and architect Philip Johnson.
The Bauhaus Style was used in the production of lamps, chairs and other household items, and also spread into fields such as typography and theater.
