What were some of the key principles of the Bauhaus movement?

1. Functionalism: The Bauhaus movement believed in the principle of functionalism, which emphasized the importance of designing objects and buildings based on their intended purpose and function.

2. Form follows function: This principle is closely related to functionalism and states that the form of an object should be determined by its function.

3. Simplicity: The Bauhaus favored simplicity in design, with an emphasis on clean lines, geometric shapes, and minimal decoration.

4. Technology: The Bauhaus embraced modern technology and industrial processes, and sought to incorporate these innovations into its designs.

5. Materials: The Bauhaus favored using new materials such as steel, glass, and concrete to create modern buildings and objects.

6. Unity of art and craft: The Bauhaus sought to break down the traditional divide between art and craft, and to unite them in the creation of functional objects.

7. Education: The Bauhaus placed a strong emphasis on education, with the belief that design could be taught and that artists and designers should work together to create practical solutions to design problems.
