Bauhaus inspiration
I have recently been introduced to the Bauhaus style of building.
In a time of political turmoil in Europe, the Bauhaus school was created as a place for craftsman and artist to work together without class distinctions or discrimination.
The Bauhaus school was started in Germany in 1919 but only started offering classes in architecture in 1927.
Radically breaking with the past, the Bauhaus Masters and their students ushered in a modern era and a new way of thinking about architecture.
"The approach of the Modernist architects was to reduce buildings to pure forms, removing historical references and ornament in favor of functionalist details." (Wikipedia)
Bauhause style is also refered to as International style.
Although my two Bauhaus inspired houses (1 & 2 Berlin Street) are not replicas of any existing buildings I hope you will enjoy them and that they might inspire you to find out some more about this facinating style of architecture.
