Bauhaus Weimar, (Weimar, Germany); 1860

The Bauhaus Weimar is located in Weimar,Germany, which was a school of arts and crafts during the WWI in 1919-1924.It founded by architect Walter Gropius, and the building was designed by Henry van de Velde. The Bauhaus Weimar had moved the business to Dessau, and the building becomes a main building of Bauhaus University,Weimar since 1994.

After the First World War, the German Empire launched the "November Revolution" to reform the Weimar Republic. The intellectuals faced the defeat of the humiliation and embraced the zealous social reform ideal. Walter Gropez wanted this trend of thought. A brand-new architecture and design school was established to realize his ideals of teamwork, development of traditional craftsmanship and utopian style.

After the school was forced to dissolve, this was opposed by some officials of Weimar, and under the support of Fritz Mackensen, Dean of the Kunstgewerbeschule Weimar, the craft school was reduced to a school of art The department also started the construction school itself. Gropez served as the head of the proposed joint school for architecture and crafts. However, the details of the project were vague. Grignard's dissatisfaction with the position was unclear, and it was in wartime. This issue has been held until after the war. After Gropez had repeatedly discussed with the Weimar officials on the purpose of his exposition, on March 16, 1919, Gropez was officially appointed as the headmaster of the Arts and Crafts School and the Weimar Academy of Arts, in March. On the 20th, Gropez formally proposed and was allowed to change the name of the merged school to "De Staatliches Bauhaus" (Former Bauhaus) and formally start school on April 1.

In 1923, the fourth year after the establishment of Bauhaus, the government of Thüringen in Germany formally requested Bauhaus to hold a comprehensive exhibition. In fact, it proved that in just 4 years, Bauhaus's explorations and attempts in design were established. The self-confidence and style can be said to be very successful. The first exhibition of Bauhaus attracted a total of more than 15,000 spectators and was warmly praised by critics across Europe, the United States, and Canada. In Germany itself, pros and deputies often commented on newspapers and the dispute was fierce. In 1924, Bauhaus participated in Leipzig Exhibition in Germany. His works won high praise. More th
an 50 companies including Britain, France, Netherlands, and Austria ordered design works from Bauhaus.

The main theme of “The Bauhaus Style” are rational, concise, and introverted. Even though the Building looks simple, but it cannot hide its marvelous functions. The material of the building has used concrete with steel structure. The Bauhaus Weimar has used a new window system as huge glass windows to replace on the façade to increase the large amount of natural lighting for interior in the early 20th century. Furthermore, the windows in third floor has made curves to tune the angle to receive and explore the landscape from indoor. The façade has painted light brown to match with the red roof to show off the matching.
