It uses the functionalist style founded in the Bauhaus design school as a starting point. The study of design styles will help you to understand the built environment and to appreciate how designers have responded to needs and culture. The Bauhaus project assumes that students have limited graphic communication skills, the fundamentals of graphics used in a design process will be explored.
