The Bauhaus came to be very influential, particularly in helping to forge the modernist style of architecture. This style, at its best (though there are too many “worst” examples around) was and is notable for its unfettered and unadorned surfaces and for the purity of its text(ur)ed [ur-texted] facades: an interweaving of strong horizontal lines (the floors and ceilings, ‘horizontal’ windows) with sometimes stronger vertical curtain walling. file:///C:%5CUsers%5CTOMGOU%7E1%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image008.jpgThis interwoven exterior could be traced back to the aesthetic influence of ancient Peruvian textiles via the work of Bauhaus founders weaver Anni Albers and painter Paul Klee. Some later architects forgot the ‘interweaving’ principle and relied entirely on functionality, i.e. the line of the floors with pre-fab windows located between. The result is so often depressing: minimum cost rather than minimalist. A return to the ancient drawing board is called for. file:///C:%5CUsers%5CTOMGOU%7E1%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image010.jpg file:///C:%5CUsers%5CTOMGOU%7E1%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image012.jpgImages, top down, left to right.
