This paper is a summary of the main notions of Bauhaus as well as the founder of this school’s views on architecture and design. On the basis of the above-mentioned, an analysis was conducted on the influence of this intellectual heritage on the designing style of the 20th and 21st century. The starting point of the ponderings is the Bauhaus virus thesis, which undoubtedly spread in the previous century in the western countries and elsewhere, by shaping not only the way of teaching the next generations of designers but also architectural forms and, most importantly, reflection on the obligations of architects and designers.
