The Bauhaus, an architectural school founded by Walter
Gropius in 1918, introduced a design principal that
would dominate architecture and interior design for
the rest of the century: form follows function. Bauhaus
architects use principles of Classical architecture
in their most pure form: without ornamentation of any
kind. They unify art, craft, technology, new materials
and the mass production of furnishings and fixtures.
