Modernisation, modernity and modernism are three concepts that revolve around the thought of the modern world and its culture.
Modernisation refers to a range of technological, economic and political processes associated with the Industrial revolution and its aftermath. Modernity refers to the social conditions and modes of
experience that are seen as the effects of these processes. Modernism in a general usage simply means the property or quality of being modern or up to date.
The great Bauhaus designs were heavily influenced by modernism. It was one of the first schools of design; it brought together a number of the most outstanding contemporary architects and artists and was not only an innovative training centre but also a place of production and a focus of international debate. The intention of Bauhaus was to develop creative minds for architecture and industry and thus influencing them so that they would be able to produce artistically, technically and practically balanced utensils. Masters of modern art Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee were teachers who taught at the Bauhaus school. The basic idea of the Bauhaus teaching concept for architecture and Bauhaus furniture was the unity of artistic and practical tuition. The forms in the Bauhaus furniture are frequently simple and light without decorative additive. Frequently used are: steel, glass, bent wood, leathers and plastic. The most attentive colours are: generally black, white, brown, grey and chromium. In architecture Bauhaus has a great style for those who prefer minimalism as well as function or style. The style isn’t just for those who prefer less in life. This style of architecture also holds true to the old saying that ‘less is more.’
