== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''The Bauhaus''' β A German art school (1919β1933) that combined "Fine Arts" with "Functional Crafts" (Architecture, Furniture, Typography). * '''Form Follows Function''' β The "Motto" of modernism: the "Shape" of an object should be "Determined" by its "Purpose." * '''International Style''' β The "Architecture" that emerged from the Bauhaus: "Steel," "Glass," "Concrete," and "No Decoration." * '''Less is More''' (Mies van der Rohe) β The belief that "Simplifying" a design "Increases" its "Beauty and Utility." * '''The Workshop System''' β The Bauhaus method of "Learning by Doing": students worked with "Metal," "Weaving," and "Photography." * '''Grid System''' β The use of "Mathematical Alignment" in "Layout and Architecture" to create "Order and Clarity." * '''Primary Colors''' β The use of "Red, Yellow, and Blue" to "Strip Art" down to its "Essence." * '''Steel-Frame Construction''' β The "Technology" that allowed for "Curtain Walls" (Glass walls that don't carry weight) and "Open Floor Plans." * '''Typography''' β The "Design of Letters": the Bauhaus created "Clean, Sans-Serif Fonts" that were "Easy to Read" in an "Industrial Age." * '''Standardization''' β The goal of making objects (like 'Chairs' or 'Kitchens') that could be "Mass-Produced" by "Machines" for "Everyone." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
