The De Stijl movement focused on geometry and primary colour to create stunning modernist buildings and is still heavily used today in appartment and house design.

The movement ogiginated in the netherlands after the horrors of world war 1 as a new style to rebuild and as a sort of redemption for what had happened.

The Bauhaus 1919-1933

Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus in 1919 in Weimar, Germany. He wanted reimagine the material world and create unity in all art forms to create radical ideas.

 Instead of students focusing on creating ideas on paper they were urged to create things and the Bauhaus was very workshop orientated where the students would work in various materials creating sculpture and design work using various materials.

 The Bauhaus was a revolutionary establishment in which students were surrounded by creativity in all forms, from theatre and music to sculpture and painting.

 The Bauhaus is said to be the turning point in modern design and architecture and the birthplace of the Modernist.

 Because of the large amounts of female artists wanting to attend Bauhaus as students Gropius decided it best to start segregating women into more feminine workshops such as weaving and painting rather than metal and woodwork.

 In 1925 the Bauhaus moved to Dessau where Gropius created a new building using a steel frame construction with a curtain of glass covering the building.

 The Dessau Bauhaus was focused more towards industrialist design and the students instead of working with screws and wood worked with industrial techniques of wielding and tubular construction.  

 Dessau Bauhaus students were frowned upon and seen as punks because they were so different from the social norm.

 The Bauhaus was founded in an often turbulent and dangerous time of World War II and it came under fire from the Nazi’s multiple times until its downfall in 1930 where a majority of students and teachers emigrated to the united states.

 The Nazi’s grew to hate the Bauhaus not because their designs but because they didn’t like the way the teachers and student though. It was different, new and that is something that scared and possibly intimidated the Nazi’s.
