Bauhaus Architecture.
its function over style.
From what I took in, Bauhaus incorporated the style it is well known for today for rational reasons. Its simplicity, stiffness and the disregard of bright bold colours were adapted because of the downfall of the economy in Germany after the war. Everything had to be simple and had to follow the way of living during that time.
Bauhaus style structures displayed no form of sweeping or curves in their facades. Instead, everything was flat and …well, flat. Although there were no ornamentation, no colours other than neutral black, grey and white and was also very raw and cubic, the Bauhaus style is still being appreciated today. Famous architects such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe are influenced by this style.
depite its simple demeanor, its simplicity and minimalistic-ness is very easy and pleasing to the eyes and can be very easily viewed as sophisticated and timeless.
