Bauhaus: an enduring legacy, beyond a school, a movement that transformed design. Throughout the history of design, few schools have left such a deep and lasting mark as the Bauhaus. Founded in 1919 in Germany by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was not just an educational institution, but a revolutionary movement that forever transformed the way we understand art, architecture and design. At a time of social reconstruction after World War I, the Bauhaus sought to unite art, design and functionality, eliminating the barriers between disciplines. Its goal was clear: to create beautiful and useful objects for daily life. Today, more than a century later, its principles continue to inspire generations of creatives who seek a balance between aesthetics, utility, and innovation. This article rescues the timeless lessons of the Bauhaus to apply them in the current context of digital, graphic and architectural design. The origin of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was born in Weimar with the vision of integrating art and industry.
