Bauhaus was an influential German art school and design movement of the early 20th century that profoundly shaped modern architecture, art, and design through its fusion of fine arts and crafts. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, the school revolutionized design education by emphasizing functionalism, geometric forms, and the integration of artistic vision with industrial production. Though the Nazi regime shut down the school in 1933, its principles and legacy continue to influence contemporary design, architecture, and visual culture worldwide.
