The Bauhaus was founded by Walter Groupius, an architect who influenced the initial philosophy and course offerings of the school. Walter Gropius created an manifesto that outlined the primary intent and aims of the Bauhaus School. The manifesto started out by stating, “The Final goal of all artistic activity is architecture.” The Bauhaus rejected the familiar use of decorations and individual craftsmanship and embraced the use of clean lines. Function became the primary goal of the Bauhaus. Some of Groupius principles include
- most students should face the fact that their future should be involved primarily with
industry and mass production rather with individual craftsmanship
- because we live in the 20th century, the student architect or designer should be offered no refuge in the past but should be equipped for the modern world in its various aspects, artistic, technical, social, economic, spiritual, so that he may function in society not as a decorator but as a vital participant.
The Bauhaus was the first recognized industrial design and became the definition of modern design.
