After 100 years the ideals of the bond house are more relevant today than they were that the spa hosts for 100 years ago about house reimagined the future of that so called be the how will we learn we landed in super bowl files a i think that the boathouse influence is everywhere this video house set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. Thats the alice in that everything has an ideal high its an ideal size and thats what optimize its utility but not you know they want this kind of pushed up from wherever your procmail are with your design and we were youre an artist. Bell house is a legend the brilliance of the Bauhaus School remains undiminished even today. Even though its existence was short lived it continues to shape the world we live in. New approaches to education and training architecture painting dance and design were explored and developed here. When hitler seized power and forced the school to shut down its artists architects and visionaries emigrated fanning out and spreading the bow house doctrine around the world. So what exactly 9 is behind the engineering appeal of balance. A british furniture designer with nigerian roots laurie lives in london his fascination with chavez places him firmly in the balcony tradition he trolls the city in search of inspiration. Boards on the box on the top deck of the boss by the window in london or always it is always chairs everywhere you know your money because there is a market share there are other marriott so im just always looking around nor is there inquisitive to kind of see whats around the mill and then one farther to the 11 i would have enough that thats the beauty of what do. You think it doesnt find anything that strikes his fancy on the street. So he tries. In a charity shop. To see what most of the options. For quite cool. Are you know the 1st press is so slick and seen which are. And then 2nd would be kind of having a parable in my head so having the narrative of the chair this chair just chairs its the feel nothing 4053 is quite low chairs and its not its not its not not exactly its the thing that if this 6 people are. Here is drawn to pieces that have a story to tell he likes to work in she would simply. So a lot of pieces with character so this is this is. Them you know kind of also you know like the weather kind of used for material so the for me of so i was in college pilots for that so speaks to me because there is a look at the trauma section so the kind of the global are in you know in the in the jungles maybe in the was there could be a line in you know maybe this could be green or move on just one sprinkler the contours of where i would see in the bees you know these these these lime. And also this cover might be with the Musical Instrument with a guitar a sort of a month. Into it if design that was the bedrock principle of the battle house. The art School Environment germany was founded in 1919 by architect of call p. S. He was joined there by many of the most venerated artists of the time. After the ordeal of the 1st world war they were eager to remake the world from the ground up. This called for a new breed of Industrial Design a gropius believed a new forms of training a Foundation Course was compulsory for all students it taught basic techniques of arts and crafts mentioned. It was developed by swiss painter your highness he encouraged students to work in she would cheerfully and experiment with forms colors and materials. The characteristic colors and forms of the bauhaus influenced artists such as powell clay and vassili kandinsky. The primary colors red yellow and blue and the geometrical forms of the square triangle and circle have become the trademark of the bauhaus. Theres an abundance of form and color in yankee ilori studios in london. Most of these clothes are the Furniture University so over the green for image making and put up a sign you kind of teach your so a lot of the processes i should go along and it was know for its cool so lots of history look at it by the kind of design of the graffiti there was a lot of making which will share in. Common tree set design im ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the bow house school that would have been right up to st. Chads tells part of his own story. Actually understood why but parents love to nigeria and what it meant to africa and be a black british in london and how powerful it was and how you know but i i feel like a power because you know everyone is is watching this british so what i want to do was retold my narrative using the anteroom parables. In these sort of thing there was an interest there yes they found out that he were sort of if it was actually his arm but it was israel. He was a study that. By how school and i think for me is for the best the stuff of of seen actually because he was just mind blowing and just seen i would just just not knowing that i was actually existed in nigeria even just think about race me smalleys me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of north east for images people just passed by. The university of defense campus in nigeria i was designed in the 1960 s. By bell house when she lets her issue around. Africa. And been shaped by. Bauhaus for sure if i look at this chair completely it looks like an african. Chair to me influences from africa in this piece and this is indeed the african chair a collaborative effort by to bow house masters design a master and textile artist good. A good school that could chair it this year i mean without even knowing. A lot of most oprahs role and i think ill copy of this terry must do to others copy it could be really you know as i see the charity shop. In chick. Would just be a lot this movie shoots the super from more than 60 is moving as well as going to. This is really nice this is a ridiculous zine. It was in 1925 once the school relocated to death that bow house started to become more widely know it. From his glass fronted office overlooked the school premises. Nothing escaped him including all the student goings on in the workshop next door. The students are now long gone today cloudy of heaven is the director of the powerhouse deaf sound foundation. To buy a house was pretty crazy it has to be said when you look at the bar House Building you can see how radical it was. And then there were all these girls with short hair a working together with boys only 50 meters and all very casual it was quite a provocation. It didnt get us fashions our t. V. House sort of create an impression of transparency and airy radiance space. For gore because. Gropius was very aware that a new era had dawned and that a new era called for new forms and new solutions for living on. This. He saw this reflected in every aspect of industry but not really an architecture to have had death and that i could take to work not mistaken for a commission is in. The new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters houses to call b. S. Designed these homes for the ballot house teachers on their families construction began in 1925. The homes of fighter copious and last low mccoy large were destroyed in the 2nd world war in tucson. As in foreseen they were rebuilt but not say much reconstructed as really in template its. Just laugh nikolai designed the interior of the mojave knowledge house. While in office as an artist more in knowledge was very interested in light so i made light a central part of my design and figured out a way to make it an element of a visitors experience and one way to draw attention to light is to refract it would lift the pressure of. People i made the surface of the artifact the building my playing field. Kept anybody i wanted to work with what was already that i also wanted to bring out the craftsmanship that played such a key role at the powerhouse so between the clustering worlds as a very simple artisanal activity and so i decided on all types of plaster white powder marble with various grain sizes. With variations in granularity and the way that light strikes the walls create shadow plays optician. Theres hardly any houses crying out to be photographed. Just there is no one about grouse it was very diverse and there was a bit of everything before it had claimed it had. Hundreds meyer who had a staunch lead socialist agenda mixing on the whole who wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for the people of the world of those good will it have people who introduced compulsory yoga classes if you will go whats truly fascinating is of course what happens when a Design Movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life doesnt even. In japan quality design traditionally plays a big part in daily life the aesthetic sensibility and the striving for clarity and simplicity underpinning Japanese Culture have much in common with the visual language of bauhaus and indeed partly inspired it i point to tokyo is one of the Worlds Largest metropolitan areas housing is expensive and in short supply. Me osun am a belongs to a young generation of japanese architects interested in new housing concepts. You can never see inside them and also. They close do a day show isolated situation they never invite the people friends or even come in they dont know if that mix the 2 there. May know is seeking an entirely new approach 2. Ok i have to change my mind out there they have to read the city asking a different way of living in tokyo so i propose a. Completely different way from know my one room apartment in tokyo. The high hat she familys Housing Solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can a high ashleys wife before the couple got married. d the house was very small studio to her clear if traced and Read Everything path toward it show or change the room everything was not separate so she was living at that as you know of as a people do. She she likes cooking and there. Do you want to read that scene. To watch t. V. So that she can do that so when we find it useful we have about 20 places to do that but then its too big for her at all so maybe we want to do some shows. The shared house for people who arent necessarily old family and who are willing to redefine their relationships to one another 2. Maybe i was converting the old house into a house for 7 people a home like this would be on affordable for a family and then the reaction of like a good movie and says to change your ways you know doesnt hurt you went down and people doesnt have a local job so cant people doesnt like in that way its there and you know that and they need to do something. Meticulous measurements so as to use the space as efficiently as possible. The small bedrooms on the upper floor a separated by and lights and every hallway. A bridge between the private and the shared spaces. Using the steps that could be seen here but if things so that they. Individually are rooms. The rooms the small while the shared areas are spacious the multipurpose living room is where residents and friends come together in a city thats becoming increasingly anonymous the house is a small pocket of community. Meo and her husband run a successful architecture firm. Shes a big fan of german bauhaus. Most in this. Arc back from my us thanks to them. All so he makes it very simple and the looks very but its not and the kids go relationship is outside the room in the room and the foreign in it to relate it all together and this is kind of. Bauhaus had close ties to japan from the outset this house was built in the 1930 s. By you well yeah my wacky who studied at the bell house school. In 1954 voted called p. S. Visited the brand new coup was our Design School in tokyo writing in the guest book here i have found genuine bauhaus spirit. d in the work meo often refers to this weighty manual compiled by announced noyes another bauhaus graduates. The 1st edition of his architects data is in. The current edition of this International Bestseller was updated by architect your highness kister. You start planning a new project you reach for your norfork its currently in its 42nd editions 100 published all over the world it. It. Its a reference but for special requirements in Building Design and Site Planning from the best height for a door handle to the angle of a body leaning back in a chat to compile these norms knowing fat carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. Differ this one does mention the problem wasnt the 1st to measure daily life. But the radical approach are of relating architectures space and Spatial Relationships to such measurements and the radical extrapolation of space allocation and time from these relationships that was the cornerstone of our house. As well as. The book was finally published 3 years after the battle house was shot down by the nazis but the efficiency of knife sets manual suited the totalitarian system and the nazis coopted it for their own purposes. After the war when its merits could once again speak for themselves it became a bestseller. Nowadays noisettes manual can be found in architecture firms all over the world. But. What space is needed for an elevator how much space. Do you need a new kitchen and just look at. What size should something be to work well in its environment. Its just so useful because when we. Know like example of this sort of thing. If you flip this for can find a way of basic measurement no letter we have to know but we cant put everything to my brain so its a part of our way. Of measuring people activities things rationality and detail as tools for optimizing daily life and use of space plane marks of the bauhaus code that carry just far as japan. The battle house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found via tickle pierce himself. Director an american yogi is the guardian of his legacy moneyball to nish to climb climb the hunt it wasnt the ordinary old School Crafts person training. Game was to train a new type of artist. The Industrial Designer who could wear all hats. And list a generalist who could be an architect or a typo grapher a painter a sculptor a photographer. I am an Industrial Designer who represented the universal. Through our only real solution and the manifesto of the weimar state our house was published in april 19th 19 architects sculptors painters we must all turn to the crafts together let us can see even create the new building of the future for us my mission. What theyve wanted to avoid was a drifting apart art on one side art for arts sake salon art and on the other side the more downmarket applied art that is craft. This 100 was. The bow house coat blurred the distinction between fine art and applied arts. Then and now the starting point is always the material. That is about 25 percent each of and courts and 50 percent carol one thing we all thought amazing how this dust can turn into something with so much bach. Author wasnt somehow elastic to imagine it being poor molded its texture is so great at the. Guns tell you how. Belin based Design Collective new tendency is in demand the team of graduates of the Powerhouse University environment. They design Industrial Products for everyday use in the powerhouse tradition functional and no frills. The firm is teaming up with one of germanys oldest Manufacturing Companies the royal porcelain factory k. P. N. Its supply of oppression kings with beilin porcelain. And why do we mainly manufacture in germany. On the one hand because of the tradition of craftsmanship but also because of the convenience the fact that we can visit the factories for this thats very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved and broadens our minds. Off. The cake pms called slim is full hand crafted. Insists that the bounce environment began designing simple modern porcelain table laugh for the cake pm in 1929. The new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of bellhousing by collaborating with the k pm on a commemorative plate. And as soon as you start its already gone you can see how fast its turning its a question of seconds. Today the team representing their ideas to the cape p. M. s head. Designer im going to say. When i look at it from the front theres a lovely play of light and shadow. Uses the industrial and constructive a suspect is a great contrast to the delicate postle and we find that contrasts very intriguing. Reminds me of bauhaus photography the light in shadow on the negative space. We explore these elements with our designs to start off into. New tendency designs practical high quality products that are not interested in mass production. But theyre kind of craftsmanship has a price one that not everyone can afford business though is thriving. Thats what im taking international we get a lot of inquiries from the u. S. And england but also south korea and japan from people with a similar sense of aesthetics lloyd convenient. In keeping with the bell house spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision. And the essential part of the bauhaus appeal is that copius was keen on the idea of synergy. Vision thats become reality around dreams between creative disciplines are increasingly blurred. And 1st i need a vacuum. The material softens and starts to melt it melts very fast and then it gets moons. Finished. The results around expected is cash conducting research for the car industry. No shes preparing for her graduation show she studies Fashion Design in berlin. Thought my most basic idea was to see if i could produce a collection without actually sewing anything and instead use different production methods. So i worked a lot with lasers and glue to explore the alternatives to see how i could make clothes production no modern fundies of men and i wanted to replace man made with machine made she made. Us architect well i have a background in architecture perhaps thats why i tend to focus more on production methods used in industry and Industrial Design. Is a very ideological battle haas principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st. And endlessly standardize ation the idea that everything has an ideal height and ideal size in order to optimize its utility so i fit in mentioning that it has been not. Im really intrigued by the idea that rather than simply buying an item of clothing that you could buy cat or computer aided design data that you get your data go to. Workstation and the machine makes the clothes for you and the caddo this design is based on motorbike trounces made from an upholstery fabric commonly used in the car industry but isnt there such a thing as excessive optimization computes here and she says i once had to apply and over complicated process of suppose that optimization to clothing. Is a humorous comment on this train and its not meant to be taken seriously and really the big event the catwalk show in the evening. Last minute pit falls are inevitable. Well the trousers fit but im back to get them. To. The days. Of the week yeah i guess that it would be nice just to long. Distance does that still. Cause i have to wait there taking a 1st look i get it. Is it your turn. Then go cash his collection is about to make its catwalk debut. After months of hard graduation in her pockets she can finally relax and enjoy the moment. Fashion design that straddles architecture and Technology Analog and digital. Across a disciplinary approach is quintessential rebound house. There. Are no doubt. One of the main reasons for the success of our house was that the movement was brave enough to bring together very different Creative Minds when you take a look at who target there they dont seem to have anything in common creatively and they were very different characters to correct here or what i think their gropius realized that on their diversity could produce answers to the questions raised by the new era of these annoying sight. This architectural icon in spain is a perfect distillation of that collaborative spirit the reconstructed barcelona pavilion originally designed for the 1929 International Exposition by nice fan dare who are the surge director of the belle house school the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair with code designed by miss founder and bell housemaster. The creative scope of the Bauhaus School was unique a printing and advertising workshop opened in deaths hour in 1925. The workshops head was how about buyer who designed the new type faces that would help define the bell house style he was a pioneer of what wed now call corporate design. When among the capital of jordan decided it needed its own branding it hired Graphic Design a yarn gala who specializes in type faces. It was a pretty daunting task. The. First came to amman in 2004. As a young student and then i came back in 2008 to develop a typeface for a month an arabic and latin type design for the greater amman minister polity disability it was my Graphic Design graduation project at the University Environment its in by my. Son is one of the 1st type faces that bridges the gap between weston an arab farm designed by about house graduates yamashiro its a huge process its here but these days youll see a man type for use on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material thats not stealing books and i was very fortunate to be able to help find the urban landscape just vishnu visual identity of the city i just as if this is where National Spirit is to. The middle eastern city its also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little heat no way and more often than not someones what. Whereas the common films on this cultural sense that its impossible to overlook. The farmers the supplemental you could always happy to see it in such a prominent position in the city was rebranding itself but the result was a disaster for. The. Pains my type designer sold and wasnt supposed to be like this is the equivalent of taking a painting or a photo and then stretching it its really distorted thats how they why thats whats out. Thats what thats a question i mentioned not everyone is thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this job with. The someone who ends up in the arab world the main hub sort of typeface designer of beirut in cairo. A man whos a very young city its only 100 years old and the field just doesnt exist here so to prophesy. Anyway designing the font was my own idea is the shift to push. The service from them to me this is a lovely use of ramadan time in arabic im working script in bold but probably on. Visit noncompetition about the revision and the rough edges i built into the design were inspired by a certain atmosphere in the city. And theres a kind of rawness. Of polish that i want to define to express. That there are lots of people here do apparently agree that the front captures the mood of their city rushed up into. The bow housecoat a philosophy developed at a small German Art School and adopted across the world. A manual for structuring daily life based on principles of architecture and design an Interdisciplinary School with radical new teaching methods that fostered freedom and experimentation a school that pioneered the fusion of fine arts and craft. After years of extraordinary creativity the bauhaus had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis once or die on isaac was 933. 00 was the end of the road the bauhaus was founded environment as a state subsidized school thats why it was called the weimar state our house war deaths how it was a Municipal Institution and im berlin it was a private institution financed primarily out of nice fund always on talk it. Over i was forced to close its breakup help to evolve into a global movement. Pacifier for an uncertain time out some from the outset the bell house was very International Thanks to its International Connections it wasnt all that hard for the bow hausers to disperse around the world after the schools closure for a time. The bell House Movement also left its mark in tel aviv. Between 1921000 forcing some 4000 buildings built in the modern style were erected in the city center. In 2003 the white city was made to unesco world Cultural Heritage sites. The white city was naturally the work of architects who had studied with back to call b. S. And other european architects. In the 1930 s. Many jews fled growing antisemitism in europe and emigrated to palestine there they contributed to the making of a new society these days many of the buildings of fallen into disrepair the paint is peeling and the facades crumbling. However the unesco world Cultural Heritage status has helped raise awareness of these buildings historic value. The max leaving house built in 1986 is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. Israeli german architecture iran iran is Program Director of the White City Center shes well aware what a treasure it is. If you want to shine faster lets see what original features from germany we have here actually that look at this this is a handle when we dismantled the door handles and cleaned them up we saw that they had stamps from the company ducky e. A. Change says and you can just about see it we did some research and found out that they really were made by the company that manufactured the gropius handles so for the bauhaus who thought the company was called loewy there are all sorts of treasures like that here you know where. This is the center of it is a result its interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. We say cant or cantor or edge cant come to the book and cant suckle for socket or a base cross put some shine put scratched stone plaster we say she wished the german word for playing this is and its funny listening to jewish and arab construction workers on the building site and theyre like hey moshe kratz puts it goes to show how much expertise was brought here in the 1930 s. Not just materials but skills newer. Than an artist. Sharon is meeting up with. Who gives tours of the white city shes an expert on the architects who gave tel of eve its distinctive look.
