Gropius remained as director for nine years and steered the Bauhaus school into developing a cohesive style, though that was not his original intention. These austere aesthetics favored function and mass production, and were influential in the worldwide redesign of everyday buildings that did not hint at any class structure or hierarchy. The Bauhaus style of architecture featured rigid angles of glass, masonry and steel, together creating patterns and resulting in buildings that some historians characterize as looking as if no human had a hand in their creation. Painting, typography, architecture, textile design, furniture-making, theater design, stained glass, woodworking, metalworking-these all found a place there. Under the leadership of Gropius, the Bauhaus movement made no special distinction between the applied and fine arts. Its creators believed in bringing artists and craftspeople together for a utopian purpose.
