Bauhaus

The word Bauhaus means School of building and this was a new art school were it offered many subjects to choose from such as design , Art, Sculpture , pottery , graphic design etc.. Apart from Bauhaus being a school , it was also an art movement. It all started in 1919 in Wiemar, Germany by an architect named Walter Gropius and lasted till 1933. Bauhaus designs aims is to have geometrical shapes , minimalism and hand crafted work. 

Bauhaus uses a phrase that says - "Less is more". What this means is that they believed the less information that you show , the design would make a better hit. 



Maltese Parliament


The image above is the Maltese Parliament that is influenced from the Bauhaus school / movement. As one can see the building is kind of elevated as the one of the Bauhaus school. The windows are also parallel and very similar to that of Bauhaus. 


Joost Schmidt




This is a poster that was designed by Joost Schmidt in 1923 for a Bauhaus exhibition in Wiemar. 




The image above is an image that shows the inspiration from the image of Joost Scmidt. This image has been created very recent and it is being used to advertise. The designer has followed the design and placed the font the same as the inspired image. The typography that the designer used is totally different than the original picture.
