Technology played a significant role in Bauhaus architecture, as it was designed to celebrate the possibilities of modern industrial manufacturing and construction methods. The designers at Bauhaus embraced new technologies, such as reinforced concrete and steel, to create modernist-style buildings with clean lines and flat roofs. Technology also allowed for the use of large panels of glass, which enabled buildings to have more natural light and create a stronger connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The use of innovative materials and building techniques, such as prefabricated components, helped Bauhaus architects to create functional and efficient buildings that were accessible to people from all walks of life. Overall, technology served as a means for the Bauhaus architects to create works that embody the modernist principles of simplicity, utility, and abstraction.
