The development of Bauhaus style

Bauhaus school pays equal attention to the theory and practice of basic courses, brainwashes students through a series of rational and strict visual training procedures, and reshapes their brand-new way of observing the world; At the same time, there are 13 workshops for printing, glass painting, metal, furniture joinery, weaving, photography, mural painting, stage, book binding, pottery, architecture, curation and other different majors to cultivate students' accurate practical operation ability. This teaching method is very different from the traditional academic school at that time, but it has become almost the universal mode of modern art design teaching all over the world.

Gropius personally designed the school building for Bauhaus. According to the practical function of the building, he adopted asymmetric, irregular and flexible layout and composition techniques, gave full play to the characteristics of modern building materials and structures, and used various components of the building itself to create a refreshing visual effect. Compared with the traditional public buildings at that time, although there were no pilasters, carved flowers and floral decorations on the walls of school buildings, through careful collocation and treatment of panes, awnings, balcony railings, curtain walls and solid walls, a concise, fresh, simple and dynamic architectural artistic image was created, and the construction cost was low and the construction period was short. They became the "pioneers" of Bauhaus architectural style, pioneers and models of modernist architecture, and were milestones in the history of modern architecture. Bauhaus school building was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1996 and has always been a tourist attraction attracting many tourists.

After the school was dissolved, Gropius, Smith and other "Bauhaus" backbones and main figures successively came to Britain and the United States. They compiled and published Bauhaus's teaching plans, materials and students' homework, which made Bauhaus's theory spread all over the world, promoted the education reform of architecture and arts and crafts in various places in the mid-20th century, greatly stimulated students' creativity, and had a great influence in the field of global architecture and industrial product design. During 65438-0948, when Mr. Liang Sicheng was teaching in the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua University, he adopted Bauhaus's educational ideas and teaching materials brought back from the United States, and hired carpenters to teach students woodworking skills in carpentry rooms, so that Bauhaus began to spread in China. In the end, Bauhaus style and genre characterized by outstanding practical functions, application of advanced technology and pursuit of economic benefits were formed in architecture and art circles, which adapted to the actual needs of modern large-scale industrial production and human life.
