The Bauhaus style of architecture emerged in Germany in the early 20th century and was characterized by the use of clean lines, geometric shapes, asymmetry, and the absence of decoration. It emphasized the principles of functionality, simplicity, and mass production. The use of new materials such as glass, steel, and concrete was also a hallmark of the Bauhaus style. Bauhaus architecture included various forms of buildings such as schools, housing, and industrial facilities, and was influential in shaping modern architecture around the world.
