BAUHAUS

A German Architech, Walter Gropius was the founder of the Bauhaus school in 1919. The Bauhaus school, was an academy of art and design. Bauhaus literally means "house for building" therefore it was known as the greatest place for architects. The purpose of the school was to rebuild German after the war, and establish a new means of social order. 

 The Bauhaus's ideals were that the artists had to understand their social responsibilies of community, and in return society had to accept and appreciate the artists.

The artists of the Bauhaus academy had one main goal when it came to design, and that was that they tried not to use decorative elements. They simple wanted to create architecture that was in pure form. Other goals of the school were to have the artists work together, strengthen their ideas, and maintain their progress. Bauhaus was known as one of the best institutions for art in the design in the twentieth century.  The Bauhaus school helped make Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius known as the masters of modern architecture.
