IMHO Bauhaus was about design for functionalism and 'getting the job done' efficiently. When viewed in this sense, a Bauhaus frontend might be gopher, an old Nokia phone, or the unix command line.

A modern tent is arguably the evolution of the Bauhaus spirit applied to structure. Tents do suck in comfort compared to pre-Bauhaus European buildings, but if you're going to carry a building to the top of a mountain, they're not a bad option!

ie. Pre-Bauhaus = It costs what it costs. Tradition reigns. Bauhaus = Mass manufacturing and material properties in-scope for design, resulting in often better design when holistically considered.

I don't think it was true at first. From what I understand it was mostly about ideology first.
