The Bauhaus movement started in 1920 until 1934. The movement occurred due to the influence of the German Bauhaus school founded by Walter Gropius. The aim of the school was to rebuild society after World War ll.
The ethos behind designs created by the school focused on necessity and functionality in order to create change post war. The Bauhaus style of design became internationally recognised following the emigration of Walter Gropius to the US.
