Nomos Tangente: The Bauhaus-Style Icon

Bauhaus is sometimes mistakenly called a style. This is not true. Bauhaus is not a style. However, several specific features are identified in its forms and shapes: simple geometric shapes like rectangles and spheres, without elaborate decorations. Buildings, furniture, and fonts often feature rounded corners and sometimes rounded walls. Other buildings are characterized by rectangular features, for example protruding balconies with flat, chunky railings facing the street, and long banks of windows. Furniture often uses chrome metal pipes that curve at corners. Some outlines can be defined as a tool for creating an ideal form, which is the basis of the architectural concept. [7] Bauhaus and German modernism [ edit ] In the spirit of innovation and experimentation, a new approach was taken to layout. Designers played with placing objects in new ways, experimenting with angles and white space, and using typography as the hero of a design layout.

The Native for example comes in a series of case sizes. From a tiny 28mm to a comfortable 40mm. There are four choices of case, with silver or gunmetal being my favourites. It's worth doing some further research on the work of these Bauhaus movement masters for design inspiration. Richard A. Etlin (2002). Art, culture, and media under the Third Reich.

There are no more workshops for painting, furniture building, weaving or metal in the historic and new buildings of Bauhaus University. Originally, under the leadership of founding director Walter Gropius, artists and craftsmen were intended to work together and learn from each other. Today, the university offers departments of architecture and urbanism, art and design, civil engineering and media.We see the same thing happening in design today, where technological innovations inspire how we design, and the two work together in unison. This is particularly evident in UX design, app design, and web design. Graphic designers are required to create for technology. Functionality Sport and physical activity were an essential part of the original Bauhaus approach. Hannes Meyer, the second director of Bauhaus Dessau, ensured that one day a week was solely devoted to sport and gymnastics. 1 In 1930, Meyer employed two physical education teachers. The Bauhaus school even applied for public funds to enhance its playing field. The inclusion of sport and physical activity in the Bauhaus curriculum had various purposes. First, as Meyer put it, sport combatted a “one-sided emphasis on brainwork.” [51] In addition, Bauhaus instructors believed that students could better express themselves if they actively experienced the space, rhythms and movements of the body. The Bauhaus approach also considered physical activity an important contributor to wellbeing and community spirit. Sport and physical activity were essential to the interdisciplinary Bauhaus movement that developed revolutionary ideas and continues to shape our environments today.
