The school was called Bauhaus
Corbu was not a member of the BH, although he was certainly read by Bauhaus students and influential in their work. However, Corbu thought that the Bauhaus did not focus on architecture, planning, and social reform enough, whereas he was really pushing for a new architecture as a means of modern living. There's also a long-standing animosity between French and German design cultures and aesthetics, so the thought of working together was probably unimaginable to both.
Bauhaus CharacteristicsBauhaus characteristics include many different things, one include look for simplicity, Bauhaus design use simplicity of lines and shapes, look for straight lines or smooth gentle curves. there is repitition and many layers in the overall design, identical cylinders and towo or three corners which are offset to each other to create a simply but powerful effect to the Bauhaus picture/design. another characteristic is look for materials that could be important to the design, not always are modern materials used in Bauhaus designs, it can be simple and smooth designs of plastic and chrome and other metals are used in Bauhaus designs.probably the most important characteristic of Bauhaus is to understand the difference between fuctionalism of craftsmen and Bauhaus design is that mechanical aspects of a Bauhaus piece were not hand crafted pieces. these pieces had an industrial look, rather than a hand made look, they relfected their times by celebrating the growing power, significance and beauty of the machine.

Bauhaus architecture and design emphasized the use of modern materials such as steel, glass, and concrete. These materials were chosen for their functional properties, allowing for innovative forms and structures while promoting simplicity and efficiency. The movement also incorporated industrial materials and techniques, reflecting a commitment to mass production and accessibility. Overall, Bauhaus aimed to harmonize art and technology through the thoughtful use of materials.

Bauhaus
functional
Bauhaus is a German school of crafts and fine arts. From Wikipedia: "One of the main objectives of the Bauhaus was to unify art, craft, and technology." For example, people associate Bauhaus with the Tel Aviv culture and lifestyle, the architecture itself was intended to be utilitarian. You can read about Bauhaus style, below.
Functional, with straight lines and little ornamentation.
The school was called Bauhaus
Bauhaus design is characterized by its minimalistic and functional approach, often embodying geometric shapes, simple forms, and a lack of ornamentation. Look for clean lines, asymmetrical compositions, and a focus on functionality in architecture, furniture, and graphic design to recognize Bauhaus style.
