Project Aesthetic Compared to 20th Century Designs

My current aesthetic is Bauhaus. Some aspects of Bauhaus design are neutral colors, no unnecessary decoration and grids. My aesthetic compared to other 20th century designs are very different. Bauhaus was a design movement that it was an actual school in Germany. Art deco and art nouveau for example are all about decorations while Bauhaus looks to push those decorations away.

Looking past Bauhaus, post war design has some similarities in that people started looking for minimal ways to style things and so did Bauhaus. Bauhaus also combined graphic design, industrial design and art to create a movement. Mid-century modern design and stream line design incorporated design into products form everyday life to create a design movement. Design movements after the 1930s took aspects from Bauhaus and you can see them in lots of futurism designs and mid century modern designs.
