A modern screen interpretation of the Bauhaus school, which operated from 1919 to 1933. Geometric studies are a useful reference, but red-yellow-blue graphics are only one part of its varied output.

## Visual family
Modernism & structure · 1919–1933. Editorial family: shared visual vocabulary, not a claim of common origin.

## Visual cues
- Geometric composition
- Visible hierarchy
- Economical forms

## Build it
1. Use a modular grid.
2. Let one geometric form anchor the composition.
3. Assign primary colors distinct visual roles.

## Example
An exhibition index with a geometric title panel and disciplined event rows.

## Typography
Use a geometric sans-serif for display and a readable sans-serif for details; geometry should not distort long text.

## Practical consequences
- Starting projects: Publication, Portfolio. These are suggestions, not restrictions.
- Reading/layout: compact; bold visual emphasis.
- Asset work: Simple geometric artwork can be made with CSS or SVG.
- Complexity: low. Mostly standard CSS; imagery may still need preparation.

## Limits
Reducing the school to decorative circles or claiming every Bauhaus work rejected ornament in the same way.

## Reading the collected reference board
Compare the geometric balance, color blocks, and directional lettering. These are contemporary poster references, not a catalog of original Bauhaus works.

## Context
1919–1933. The recipe is a modern web adaptation.
