How was color used in Bauhaus architecture?What were the main differences in color palettes among the various buildings during the Bauhaus movement?And finally, what is the impact of this movement on the perception and use of color in today’s architecture?The research attempts to reveal a different dimension of the use of color in Bauhaus architecture, beyond the “monochromatic” aesthetic for which it is known. Through the innovative theories of the school’s key teachers, Itten, Kandinsky, Klee and Albers, and other great masters, it becomes clear how color was used in many aspects of architecture and design, not only at that time but also today. From residences that had rich palettes of interior colors, to residences with discreet color choices, the study examines these different approaches, citing important examples. The different color scales analyzed in the research will attempt to convey the relationship between architectural composition and space through the use of color. In conclusion, the aim of the paper is to demonstrate that despite the fact that Bauhaus was a pioneer of minimalism, it introduced a great influence of color, with color itself giving soul and feeling to architecture.
