The Bauhaus style

People generally know that although the school of Bauhaus just existed for about fourteen years ,its theory has a extensive and far-reaching affect on the whole world.Drafted by the Gropius, "Bauhaus Declaration" is an important document of modern design, the highest of modern design education program.“Let us collectively desire, conceive and create the new building of the future,” wrote in his Bauhaus call to arms in 1919.

The schoolhouses are designed by Gropius.He designed them on the basis of practicality of construction and used atactic layout to create a refreshing visual effects.They are the ancestry of Bauhaus construction style.Bauhaus buildings are often modern, simple.Bauhaus was the preamble of functionalism and modernism.

Bauhaus furniture are also focused on simpleness.They always have fluent lines and peculiar shape.Frequently used wood,glass,steel etc.

Yet whereas Bauhaus has become synonymous with a certain modern style --streamlined,geometric,abstract,minimalist --this does not tell the whole story.The Bauhaus isn't just a art school,it shows a way for young people who still place their hope on the era of Bauhaus.The school's legacy can still be felt in the world of design and architecture.We can see lots of things with Bauhaus design element when we move around.
The essence of Bauhaus is building houses that simple and economic.However,the Bauhaus building becomes luxury property with it is more and more famous in the world.

My aim of my 3D scene design is having more decorative patterns before learning Bauhaus.Now I know that "less is more"--simple is also beautiful.Design depends on what the theme of whole story.The houses with some patterns will be narrative in a game which has a background in Middle Age.Of course,although intricate motifs can make constructions palatial,it's too resource-wasting and contrary recent purpose--energy conservation.
