1. Simplicity: Clean lines, basic shapes, and minimal ornamentation characterized the Bauhaus style.

3. Modernity: The Bauhaus style was influenced by the modernist movement, which stressed innovation and new ideas in art, design, and technology.
4. Industrial Materials: Bauhaus architects often used industrial materials such as steel, glass, and concrete in their designs.
5. Form follows function: The Bauhaus architects believed that the form of a building should be determined by its function, not by the style or tradition.
6. Open plan: The Bauhaus style included open-plan spaces, with flexible layouts that could be adapted to different needs.
7. Rationality: The Bauhaus architects were concerned with creating buildings that were rational and logical, rather than emotional or expressive.
