EMPHASIZING "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION," IT PRIORITIZED SIMPLICITY AND UTILITY, LEAVING A LASTING IMPACT ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE, AND TYPOGRAPHY.  form follows function THE DESIGN OF AN OBJECT OR STRUCTURE SHOULD BE DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY ITS PURPOSE, RATHER THAN BY AESTHETIC ORNAMENTATION. SYMBOLIZED A DEEP RESPECT FOR UTILITARIANISM, INNOVATION, AND THE NEEDS OF A POST-WAR SOCIETY THAT VALUED PRACTICALITY OVER EXTRAVAGANCE. history 2 IT WAS IN A TIME OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL TURMOIL THAT THE BAUHAUS EMERGED IN POST-WAR GERMANY. THIS MOVEMENT SHOULDERED THE BURDEN OF RECONSTRUCTION FOR A COUNTRY, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MAKING ART AND DESIGN DEMOCRATIC THROUGH ACCESS TO EVERYONE. GROPIUS ENVISIONED SUCH A SCHOOL WHERE ARTISTS, ARCHITECTS, AND CRAFTSMEN WOULD COME TOGETHER TO CREATE FUNCTIONAL YET BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS.  1925–1932 weimar period SHIFTED TO INDUSTRIAL DESIGN AND MASS PRODUCTION.

MIES VAN DER ROHE LED THE FINAL YEARS, FOCUSING ON ARCHITECTURE AND THEORY. THE BAUHAUS WAS MORE THAN A SCHOOL AND HAD ALWAYS SYMBOLIZED A TRANSFORMATION FORCE. IT SEVERED THE TRADITIONAL OUTLOOK REGARDING ART AND LIFE, SHOWING THAT DESIGN COULD BE BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL, AND ACCESSIBLE. THIS CONTINUES TO LEAVE ITS MARK IN THE ICONIC DESIGNS WE SEE TODAY, RANGING FROM SLEEK FURNITURE TO MINIMALIST HOMES AND USER-FRIENDLY FONTS. FOR A LESSON THAT REMAINS SO VALUABLE, THE BAUHAUS STILL TEACHES US THAT GOOD DESIGN SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE. visionaries 3  artist & teacher paul klee PAUL KLEE WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TEACHERS AT BAUHAUS.
