Bauhaus
- Region
- Germany
The Bauhaus, along with the Ulm School of Design, is named as an influential institution behind high modernism's functionalism, which advanced standardization and a democratic design aesthetic but also carried real costs.
Named, together with the Ulm School of Design, as one of the influential institutions behind the sleek functionalism of high modernism — offering advancements in rationality, standardization, material honesty, and a democratic aesthetic impulse ('good design' made universally accessible), but whose application also came at a steep cost, part of the book's critical reckoning with design's historical entanglement with the extractive economies of the Capitalocene.
