| Like other modernists, architects associated with Bauhaus strove to "make it new." They combined classical styles with modern technology to create economically feasible, and aestically pleaseing buildings. Also, every detail mattered, and functional items were incorporated into the design. Similar to modern art, Bauhaus style many times featured sharp angles and a mixing of common shapes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
