Design features of the Bauhaus teaching building

The designer is W. Gropius, the principal of the Bauhaus school and the German architect.

The designers creatively used modern architectural design techniques, starting from the practical functions of the building, and determined the respective positions and shapes of each part according to the practical requirements and their interrelationships. New materials such as steel bars, reinforced concrete and glass are used to highlight the natural beauty of materials. In the architectural structure, the contrast between windows and walls, concrete and glass, vertical and horizontal, light and shadow is fully used to make the space image appear fresh, lively, vivid and diverse. Especially the different visual effects produced by the simple flat roof, large glass windows and long and continuous white walls give people a unique impression. With a brand-new form, the school building draws a clear line with the retro design ideas and is considered a landmark model work in modern architecture.
