What is the Bauhaus style? Are there any masterpieces?

The so-called "Bauhaus style" is actually another name for "Modernist style". Calling it "Bauhaus style" is a misinterpretation of Bauhaus, a trend of thought, not a complete style.

"Bauhaus" is a transliteration of German Bauhaus. It was originally the name of an arts and crafts school founded by 19 19 in Weimar, Germany. Gropius, a famous German modernist architect, was the founder and first principal of the school. He changed the German word Hausbau to Bauhaus as the name of the school to show the difference between the school and traditional academic education institutions. Ludwig ludwig mies van der rohe, another German architect, one of the masters of modernist architecture, was the third headmaster of Bauhaus. The school moved to Dessau in 1925, and then moved to Berlin in 1933. In the same year, it was seized by Nazi fascists and forced to dissolve. Although "Bauhaus" only existed for 14 years from its founding to its school killing, its theory and doctrine have exerted a wide and far-reaching influence on the whole world, and its ripples are still rippling everywhere.
