Bauhaus architecture had a significant relationship with the city. The movement was founded in Germany in 1919 and aimed to create functional, minimalistic designs that were accessible to everyone. Bauhaus architects believed that buildings and cities should be designed to meet the needs of modern life, including transportation, housing, and workspaces. In this sense, they saw the city as a space for experimentation and innovation, and many of their designs were intended to improve the urban environment. For example, they designed buildings with flat roofs that could be used for recreational purposes, and they advocated for more green space in the city. Overall, Bauhaus architecture sought to create a more rational and efficient approach to urban design, which emphasized simplicity, functionality, and accessibility, and helped shape the modern cityscape we see today.
