Discover how the Bauhaus transformed the way we live, work, and create. Form, Function, and Vision: Exploring the Lasting Principles of Bauhaus Design takes you inside the movement that forever changed architecture, furniture, typography, and modern culture. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was more than a school; it was a bold vision for uniting art, craft, and industry. Its philosophy of simplicity, clarity, and functionality still shapes the digital age, influencing everything from smartphones and corporate logos to sustainable architecture and minimalist interiors.

This engaging book traces the origins of the Bauhaus, explores the philosophy of form and function, examines its approach to architecture and industrial design, and highlights the work of leading figures such as Gropius, Breuer, Kandinsky, Moholy-Nagy, and Albers. Each chapter reveals how Bauhaus principles redefined beauty as something democratic and purposeful, accessible to all rather than a luxury for the few. You will see how its influence spread across the globe, inspiring modernist skylines, furniture that remains iconic, and design education that continues to shape new generations.

Whether you are a student of design, a lover of architecture, or simply curious about the origins of modern aesthetics, this book provides a clear and comprehensive exploration of Bauhaus ideas.
