>I think the real sell with bauhaus design is that it was and is super cheap. Cheap isn't a bad thing. The reasothat some of the best ideas in architecture are irrelevant is specifically avoiding integrating economics into them. That said, all of modernism basically followed this path. Talented, quality work in the early 30th century. A formalisation of the ideas and principles. Adoption by a second generation (post wwwii) who liked it mostly for its legible formality... a crappy generation of work as the principles were applied by those going for "good enough" and no more. Same thing happened to brutalism and other modernist schools. An analogy might be open offices. An energetic reimagining of office life by early Google or whatnot. No expense spared. Reasons, ideas, ideology behind the design. Pretty soon, all the lower tier companies were doing crappy open offices because it's cheaper, Google do it and it's better. Here read this article about idea sharing in open spaces. Did I mention it's cheaper?
