Bauhaus



Berlin is the home of Bauhaus style. Bauhaus is my favorite design approach with its functionality and simplicity. In fact, most of the current day design and architecture is more or less based on Bauhaus principles. It is fantastic how the principles from the early 1900's still influence the design today. Even the Nazis could not destroy the movement's legacy. Less is truly more as one can see from the Stadtmitte U-bahn station sign - it is pure Bauhaus. A perfect place to find out more about this style is to visit Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin.
