Happy Birthday Bauhaus !


The Bauhaus is 100 years old ! So why should that affect me  (I hear you say...). Have a look at the video via the link below & it will give you an idea of the ideas behind the Bauhuas, set up in 1919 & closed in 1933, by the Third Reich.

Without the Bauhaus, we would not have Art Education today , Peter Saville & Muller Brockmann would not be the designers we emulate and our houses would look very different. So Happy Birthday Bauhaus !
