Bahaus


The never dying spirit of the Bauhaus way of learning is really fascinating. It began way back in early 1900s and managed to survive through the First World War. Although it did succumb to the Second World War, the alumni of the college carried the entire concept along with them to formulate a new school in US.
Definitely there was a strong hold in this way of learning with its lesser emphasis on theoretical studies and more focus on workshop based training where the apprentice could experiment with different material to create things. It started with the idea of reviving the craftsmen ship and ended up turning into a design revolution of its own kind. 

Simplistic, cold and functional forms were introduced in Furniture, Products, Architecture and Art as well. Bauhaus movement set everyone at the same pedestal, since the need of the consumer was the same. Therefore this eventually led to Industrial revolution – mass production.

Our very own college NID is based on the principles of the Bauhaus School of Art. Since the spirit of this way of learning is so raw and varied, it will live up till eternity.
