The Bauhaus was one of the most influential modern art schools of the twentieth century whose ideology regarding the relationship between art and society has impacted on the western world long after the school itself closed.
Bauhaus stressed the importance of uniting art and industrial manufacturing and spanned furniture to architecture.
The school of Bauhaus was found by Walter Gropius, who once said something like this:
"...we want an architecture adapted to our world of machines, radios and fast cars."
So they designed these big-blocky-type buildings.

Think but this, and all is mended

"The Engel House in the White City of Tel Aviv: architect: Ze'ev Rechter, 1933; a residential building that has become one of the symbols of Modernist architecture"
And this is an architectural design by another influential Bauhaus architect, Hannes Meyer:
I can't say I'm too hot on this and it feels strange to say it but,
these designs, that were once considered to be pioneering and
emblematic of the vision of modernism,
just look a bit old fashioned to me.
Think but this, and all is mended
