Bauhaus architecture reflected changing attitudes towards urbanization as it embraced a modern, functional, and minimalist aesthetic that aimed to accommodate the needs of an increasingly urbanized society. The movement sought to design buildings and objects that were efficient and affordable, while also being visually pleasing. The use of industrial materials, such as reinforced concrete and steel, allowed for greater flexibility in design and construction, which was necessary to meet the demands of a growing population. The Bauhaus also emphasized the importance of incorporating natural light and open spaces into buildings, which reflected the desire for healthier and accessible living environments in the urban context. Overall, Bauhaus architecture was a response to the changing social and economic conditions of the early 20th century, which demanded a new approach to urban design and architecture.
