I’ve been reading lately about Bauhaus, the German art school that was run from 1919 to 1933. The first time I even heard the name Bauhaus was from the dark rock goth band out of the UK. Their name was actually derived the school. The school was created after the First World War and shut down right before the Second World War by the German Reich. Many of the designers and teachers left Germany and spread their ideas westward in other areas of Europe and the US. I discovered much later that it was a design school and movement; I started researching the works that were generated from the school. I am a big fan of simple layouts, clean lines, and minimalism combined with function. Some of the designs that still impress me today are products like Marcel Breuer’s Wassily Chair created in 1925, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Chair, created in 1929, the Whitney Museum, designed by Marcel Breuer and constructed in 1966, and one of my favorite structures that I would see in movies growing up, The PanAm building (currently the Met Life building), designed by Walter Gropius, constructed in 1962.
