Bauhaus vs Bauhaus Stage
バウハウス / バウハウスの舞台
Bauhaus comes from Functionalism and Bauhaus Stage from Stage Design. Both are read here as style. They are reached for with some of the same intent, which is where they get confused.
Bauhaus
Makes function and play coexist through the circle, triangle and square.
Bauhaus Stage
Schlemmer's stage workshop turned the body into geometry. Spheres and cones in the Triadic Ballet costumes set the human figure dancing as a form in space, and performance art traces its origin to them.
| Bauhaus | Bauhaus Stage | |
|---|---|---|
| Era | 1919–1933 | 1921–1929 |
| Family | Functionalism | Stage Design |
| Kind | Style | Style |
| Cues | Elementary shapes / Primary colors / Functional beauty / Visible structure | Geometrized bodies / Costumes of spheres and cones / Three acts by color / Choreography as spatial figure |
| Best used for | Giving an idea a clear, legible form · Bringing intelligence and warmth to education and culture | Stage costume and dance direction that recasts the body as pure geometry · Exhibition or brand film about the relation between figures and moving bodies |
| Type | Geometric sans-serif | Geometric sans only, sized by the ratio of circle to square |
| Composition | Treat shapes and letters as the same building blocks | Think in plan and elevation, set positions on a drawn floor grid |
| Material | Red, blue and yellow held together by black and off-white | Spheres, cones and cylinders in primary color and metallic sheen |
| Caution | Scattered shapes read as childish. Give every element a job. | Gluing spheres and cones onto a costume without choreographing the body as a moving form leaves only a geometric fancy dress party. |
