From modern chairs to modern woven carpets and out of the norm modern toilet-bowls there is one thing all of the designs of today have in common and that is the word BAUHAUS.

Gropius was the founder of the Bauhaus school. Architects in this school wanted to use basics of classical architecture in their most pure form functional, without decoration of any kind. The Bauhaus school originated in Weimar, Germany (1919), moved to Dessau, Germany (1925), and disbanded when the Nazis rose to power. Bauhaus leaders like Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe migrated to the United States. The term International Style was applied to the American

Typography has evolved throughout recent centuries to become one of the most exciting and adaptable forms of communication in graphic design. One of the most important stepping stones in the development of typography was the ground-breaking art school called the Bauhaus. During this remarkable period of change, nestled between the two World Wars, the Bauhaus helped to break the limits of traditional text and paved the way for modern typographic design. This innovative art school was opened in 1919

The Bauhaus School of Design and Architecture The year was 1919. World War I had just ended, and new beginnings were arising.

The Bauhaus was set up in 1919 in Weimar by Walter Gropius (1883–1969). In 1925, the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau, where a new building is designed by Gropius. In this essay, I am going to discuss about the opinions made by many writers on Gropius’s mindset and intention in building the new Bauhaus. The architectural aspects and interior space planning of the Bauhaus have become the identifications of the modernist architecture as well as legend in the history of design and design education

The four stages of the Thirty Years' War, which was fought mostly in the Holy Roman Empire (modern Germany), involved nearly all of the major powers of Europe, and was a war that used religion as a cover-up for politics. The war caused the demise of the Holy Roman Empire, and the rise of France as the new power in Europe. During the war new technologies also were used. The Thirty Year's War was ended by the peace of Westphalia in 1648. Before the war, the Holy Roman Empire already began to
