Bauhaus architecture, as a movement focused on functional and practical design, incorporated new advances in engineering and construction technology into its principles. Some of these new technologies included the use of concrete, steel, and glass, which allowed for the creation of larger and more open spaces, as well as the ability to have more natural light in buildings.
Bauhaus architects also incorporated new construction techniques, such as prefabrication, which allowed for faster and more efficient building construction. They focused on using geometric shapes, straight lines, and simple forms, which were easier to construct using new tools and machinery.
The incorporation of new technologies and construction techniques allowed Bauhaus architects to create buildings with a minimalistic aesthetic and functional design, which aligned with the movement's ideals. Additionally, the use of new building materials and techniques resulted in the creation of buildings that were more economical and environmentally sustainable.
