The Interaction Design ‘Bauhaus’
Rahul Sen believes that the interaction design community is witnessing an important revolution — an ‘IxD Bauhaus’ of sorts.
Provokingly, he compares Apple and its skeuomorphic design guidelines to the pre-Bauhaus period, when the built environment had bloated in stimuli, caused by an excess of decor and ‘pastry-work’, whereas the new clean Bauhaus style is exemplified by the Windows Phone’s new design language [and some iPad apps such as Flipboard, Flud and Wired).
What can visual interaction designers learn from the Bauhaus (and where it failed)?
