not have ornaments as well. It is very simple, plain, and geometric. The colors are just the colors of those original materials--wood and stone.

Newhouse School 1 is the International style which is also called the Bauhaus Style. Newhouse School 1 is related the the building --the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus does not have the traditional academic styles and does not have ornament but a glass-box form. It embraces new synthetic industrial materials such as steel, ferroconcrete, and sheet-glass. People can see what is going on inside from the outside through the glass windows. It emphasizes simplicity of design and geometric forms. This style’s form has nothing to do with functions. This style is originally happens in Germany during World Word. This kind of design is not brand new. In 1851, the Crystal Palace looked like this style as well.
