Bauhaus was a school in Germany that is now very well known for the approach to design that it taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933 and specialized in crafts and fine arts. The school aimed to teach many various techniques and approaches collectively. "Bauhaus" translates to "house of construction" in German, which is most definitely reflective of the art and style that resulted from it. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design, in Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Israel.
