The term Bauhaus architecture refers to the architectural style that was developed by the Bauhaus school, a German art and design school founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius. The term "Bauhaus" itself is derived from the German words "Bau" meaning "building" and "Haus" meaning "house," reflecting the school's focus on functional and innovative architecture. The school's philosophy was based on the idea that design and architecture should be combined with modern technology to create buildings that were both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The Bauhaus school became famous for its minimalist, geometric, and functional designs, which had a huge influence on modern architecture and design.
