Bauhaus architecture challenged traditional ideas of beauty in design by abandoning ornamentation and embracing simplicity, functionality, and industrial materials such as steel and glass. This style rejected the lavish details of traditional architecture, which were seen as unnecessary and expensive, and instead focused on creating efficient, modern designs that were accessible to all. By prioritizing functionality over decoration, the Bauhaus architects sought to create designs that were both beautiful and practical, reflecting the needs of the modern world. This approach to architecture was a radical departure from traditional styles, but it had a lasting influence on modern design and remains influential today.
