First, the historical role of Bauhaus:

In the establishment, dissemination and design practice of modernist design thought: ① Bauhaus truly realized the unity of technology and art, formed the real rationalism principle, and pointed out the correct direction for modern design; ② Make machinery a creative tool for artists and designers, create a design method suitable for modern industry, and realize the combination of modern art and technology, handicraft industry and industry.

Second, the impact:

Expansion: the limitation of Bauhaus;

(1) overemphasizes rationality and function, leading to indifference in style, ignoring people's internal needs, affecting the emotional harmony between people and products, appearing mechanical and inflexible, lacking human feelings and sense of history, and being criticized by postmodernism;

(2) Due to the complex composition of teachers, especially the leading position of "pioneer" artists, the "technology" component in teaching exceeds the "science and technology" component, and the field of concern is traditional product design, with little interest in modern products. The relationship between industry and traditional industries is still utopian, and the conditions of the times, mechanized mass production methods and economic concepts are often an abstract aesthetic pursuit, which rarely needs to be investigated in real life;

(3) Many of its ideas, ideas and design activities mostly stay in the "laboratory" and are not closely integrated with real life. It was not until after World War II that it completed its historical mission through its development and dissemination in the United States.
