#Bauhaus

Bauhaus is the mysterious movement that proclaims "form follows function" while deeming ornamentation a luxury to be stripped away. It heralded rationality, yet ironically produced a multitude of identical boxes masquerading as houses. From architecture to furniture and typography, it turned every space into a sterile stage, leveling individuality under the guise of a stern revolution. In practice, however, it was merely a trend device to make buildings more marketable, laden with its own irony. In any case, its most ostentatious claim remains its claim of minimalism, a paradox embodied in steel and glass.
