During a recent trip to Berling, I visited the Bauhaus Museum. The Bauhaus school combined crafts and the fine arts to develop an individual simplistic style of design. The Bauhaus style quickly became one of the most influential art movements in Modernist architecture and modern design. It influenced art, architecture, graphic design, photography and typography, interior and industrial design. The first image I took of the outside of the museum. The achitectural design is clean, simple and slightly industrial, the line of the building are linear and smooth. The secong 2 images are from postcards, taken by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. The old, dull black and white photographs link with the style of photography that we have been looking at for our project. The buildings are industrial and quite simple in design making them look similar and generic, we are translating this similar theme through our own photography.
