An opinionated kind of book that critiqued about the architecture that started in Germany which is Bauhaus, it observed about the principles of modern architecture, and its origin, which categorize former work classic and bourgeoise.

Bauhaus is a group of people that come together and share about this information that they want to build this kind of architecture. One of the head leader is Walter Gropius, he is the one who started Bauhaus, and has approach "starting from zero", it is being call this way because Germany had passed during the period of war, in which have many people from other country not liking this style of architecture, and rejected all of it.

Although, this architecture is mostly for working class german but they didn't like this style of architecture either, because they are still wanting the architecture that look grand and luxury. The architecture of Bauhaus is very simple and minimalism, with a very simple shape and form.
