You know what team if holistic aesthetic that. Free thinking or to. Be honest the evolutionary value critical fast. That is our house. After 100 years the ideals of the bar house are more relevant today than they were that the horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future under the view that how we learn we learn to do is to give house back the bell house influence is everywhere guns to our house set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. As a listing that everything has an ideal high its an ideal size and thats what optimize is its utility but not in the way they want this kind of push to go out from wherever your procmail are with your design in a world everywhere where 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 down and design were explored and developed here. When hitler seized power and force the school to shut down its artists architects and visionaries emigrated fanning out and spreading the bauhaus doctrine around the world. So can we still feel the bow house effect today. Serial production of everyday goods was a cornerstone of that down house vision a partnership between design and industry. At the furniture retailer ikea that vision seems to have become reality. Even my real god knows exactly what consumers want. How can you have your 1st home your 1st bed your 1st so far your 1st desk actually accessible at a price that you can afford that. Affordability is the linchpin of the companys business model. Ikea was founded in 1943 generations of grown up with its designs. So is ikea the bow house of today is it exactly what bauhaus found. Visit just century ago. We have a tone of that because a democratic design and that 5 dimensions starting with form a connection to our house us we are talking about today is of course that form follows function it needs to be at a good quality for what its intended use we work very heavily with sustainability and well take all of those 4 together with a low price thats when you have a typical ikea product. The 5 pillars of democratic design as formulated by ikea founder involved camp he wanted everyone to be able to afford well made products so did vatican all p. S. The 1st bell house director environment he proposed that art craft and industry collaborate to make Consumer Products more available to the common man. Find was a conservative place and about how school was eventually forced to move relocated to desks out which proved a far better if it. Didnt want to buy a house and in 1905 gropius had to look for an alternative site. Seem to be the best option. There were plenty of opportunities for the school to flourish their. Politics and industry had vested interests in the bauhaus moving to death are so common at the time in the region was similar to Silicon Valley today if you will. In death out the school joined forces with a number of Industrial Partners inspired by Series Production the bauhaus began exploring synergies between arts and technology. Does pass and in total bauhaus partner here in death with thousands of firms to work on various projects both large and small there were very close ties between the school and industry lots of people commissioned the bow hausers to design fittings for their homes to design brochures for their companies but of course there were plenty of raised eyebrows too and eventually they had to move on once again by. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression the liberal Bauhaus School came under increasing pressure. In 1928 tired of facing constant hostility directed. Appointed a successor with swiss architect hannah smy at the helm the bow house focused even more heavily on industry and also became more political. My own hut honey smile moved the bauhaus in a very socialist direction communist even. In the extremely productive 2 years that he was director this played a major role which was very different from the copious era. By hoped. The bow house set out to design and manufacture well made products for everyone. Catering to Everyday Needs took priority over artistic considerations. One voted to india india into social they wanted to reach households Homes Society in general. And with products that looked completely unlike anything that had existed before else cleek there was a turning point after the 1st world war by 922 or 923 of the latest everyone was excited about mechanization and Industrial Production. Site there was a consensus that in the postwar era people should be modern and Welcome Technology and progress. And this should be reflected in everyday products from carpets to houses to the urban environment. And they were to do this so as to modernize the city and indeed the world was down these young. Nike is the ultimate goal is no different just like the bauhaus the retailer sees itself as a kind of look for a tree for a better everyday life. We want to create a better everyday life for that many people which in one way as a philosophy is very similar to the thinking of our house that design should not be for the few good products should be for the many for ikea the many 1st and foremost consumers ultimately it wants to sell products the ballot house effect is unmistakable ikeas democratic design is by definition mass produced the retailer has adapted the core battle house philosophy to to. A consumer society. Can a smile was the bow house director for just 2 years in 1930 the town council dismissed him for communist sympathies. Along with some former students he went to the soviet union to help build the fledgling state. The 2nd world war tour germany into to find mar and death south ended up in communist east germany. Boreholes when the hidden in the nfl in there was no scope for our house to be revived in the early years of communist east germany but it was rejected as a bush while institution. As i knew. The star world that was the attitude until well after the death of stalin basically until the early 1960 s. And the rise of architectural functionalism when urban planners began erecting prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities also hope. That at some point down house was reevaluated and once again seen as a good thing if the same smile is legacy was politicized design and the famous slogan folks that looks are spread out of the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. Today bally house designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them. Such as vilhelm vatten fed table lamp its now a classic. If your hand out the bargain felt table lamp that cost around 400. 00 euros. And recruit and was thats because it was designed and manufactured at. Bauhaus school before Cereal Production had really taken off the park topped. The heights even at the time the lamp was so expensive that it didnt sell very well.

Took these principles these basic concepts and work them into the founding structure of the museum of modern art museum of modern art the fact. That our house serves as the foundation of one of the worlds foremost collections. The spouse the baja stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague. The physical initials of anything that counters modern is designed in the broadest sense very quickly finds itself being described as bar house in a rather reductive fashion gave my its also a way of signaling your own stylistic preferences perhaps thats problematic but of course its also symptomatic of an extraordinary success if you become a brand youve really made it onto a market. Where a liberal has worked. Virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing is interesting ever happened at the house but they had an amazing publicity machinery books magazines personalities but was this all just kind of creating a kind of cult or maybe a process not a broad brush analogy is not about industrialization its not about clarity in the machine age and so on brokers hes a hardcore expressionist at the beginning of brown house moments he becomes a kind of a manager is a management culture of the spirit we are surrounded here by the effects of this virus and were in the center of management culture this is new york management central.
