           How would you like to attend a school in which books are not your main focus? A place where your hands and your inner artist is able to come together in your studies. A place where your craft of design and architecture is the main focus. If this is the school for you check out one school that may have been the inspiration for this whole train of thought.
            “Bauhaus is the common term for the Staaatliches Bauhaus, an art and architecture school in Germany that operated from 1919 to 1933, and is known for its approach to design that is publicized and taught.”(Bauhaus)  The school was “associated with a trend toward less ornate art and architecture and greater utility.”(Bauhaus) “The inspiration for this concern was the rise of the working class and the desire to meet the needs of masses rather than small number of wealthy patrons.”(Bauhaus) It still was one of the most influential waves in Modernist architecture, and also “one of the most important currents of the New Objectivity.
            Bauhaus was a great influence in the development in architecture and interior design.  Bauhaus was located in three different German cities: Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessua from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933. Each time having different architect – directors that in some one in which some way shift the schools focus, technique, instructors and politics.
            This school has a lot of history. The process it went through and the people that help shape it have also shape the thought processes in other place then just Germany for example here in the United States and other places like “Canada and Israel (particularly in the White City, Tel Aviv.)”(Wikipedia)
            I’d love to go to a school in which I know helped shape some of the building and tables are chairs we sit on. It’ s a great concept also some institution can help shape the other countries and not only theirs.
