You know what teeth wholistic if they pick that. Free thinking or to. Be honest their fiduciary that white credit card she asked. That is about house. After 100 years the ideals of the bond house are more relevant today than they were than the spa horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future and the beaver how will we learn. To house a aipac the bell house influence is everywhere. You go how certain to formulate a language of design that was universal yourselves as to understand that everything has an ideal heights and ideal science and thats what optimize is its utility but nothing can. You know if there was this kind of push to go over your procmail it would be your design everywhere when 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 force the school to shut down its artists architects and visionaries emigrated fanning out and spreading the bow house doctrine around the world. What became of the bell house utopia and the principle that good design can improve peoples lives. In the early 1960 s. A volunteer goal p. S. Drew up plans for a large Housing Estate on the outskirts of berlin modern urban planning would tackle the housing shortage nearly all the new homes were earmarked for low income families. 30 years after the closure of the bauhaus the project sought to put the schools vision into action a better life for many people over it moving to the kopi a statue is a dream there are cameras sure luxury close to them one another on a huge apartment with a bathroom and everythings all running out water is unbelievable i still love the cold. You turn vice beca and hand scale meat moved into the call that as soon as it was completed. Well i got married in 1959 and there were no apartments to be had anywhere nowadays things easy in comparison housing was desperately needed back then and all. The old loans used to shadows are moved here in 1900. 29 applications for apartments i got for offers including this place. I didnt have a car but i knew there was an underground start here so i took the offer here. In front of the gulf coast a guy in the late 1950 s. And early 1960 s. Solutions to the housing crisis became more ambitious the whole most on the long run to happiness and his Architecture Firm tech the architects collaborative were tasked with drawing up a master plan to get beaten i must stop. Even before the war the rear courtyard building said many tenement blocks in berlin had been torn down to make the apartments in the front lights and an area of new housing projects were to be built in the citys green outskirts to forge their own goal saw the launch of the idea of huge urban estates had already been explored on paper as a utopian vision by architects in the 1920 saab i had to. Call pierces vision of an urban utopia was defeated by circumstances beyond his control in 1961 communist east germany built the ballin wall dividing the city into and exacerbating the housing shortage. Copius originally planned residential blocks with 14500 apartments and a maximum of 4 seen floors in the end they were 19000 apart. Once and up to 30 floors. Gropius his original vision ended up massively compromised. The best. So he didnt want just patches of green he wanted a landscape with green flowing spaces between the buildings and in the. In his vision nature wasnt contained it was an intake all part of the newest stage and was from his eye by this point vital p. S. Had long been living in the us because i. Didnt have much time or. You could only be reached by phone. Knowing that he paid a visit maybe 3 times a year or so. He was never in charge of the project and there was more of a consultant not the godfather of the. Gropius came to berlin when the Foundation Stone was laid. But he wasnt involved with the construction and there was nothing he could do about the final result. With him walters copius did everything in his power to prevent his name being attached to the project he was deeply unhappy about it there was no doubt about it at that. In after his death the whole complex was named after him which must have made him turn in his grave. By the 1980 s. That had gained a reputation as a troubled neighborhood a rundown concrete jungle with new tenants coming and going all the time and lots of derelict apartments. That frequently hit the headlines as a crime hotspot. But to use her advice becca and tan scale meet her it was home. I live by and people were happy here and didnt understand what all the bad headlines were about we didnt see it like hurt at all we lived here with our children and we liked it so sure and. Today gore p. S. That is once again popular with families the area is getting spruced up thanks to renovation work and Community Outreach projects this utopian vision of urban life is still a work in progress. Elsewhere in the world utopias a further out of reach in latin americas major cities theres a lot of room for improvement in housing and infrastructure. Many urban planners there would agree with the bauhaus principle that architects baz social responsibility. Is to enter. Mostly our work is architects and urban planners is about people. People matter to carolinas. An urban planner from meddling in colombia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. The traffic clogs the streets and spawning for bailiffs to find the cityscape. Its nearly impossible for buses to pass through these narrow steep streets. Odd but then the city has an idea. Today 6 outdoor escalators extend to 384 mates has up the hill side now the 140000 residents of Community One of the citys poorest neighborhoods no longer need to make the climb by foot. Jayco because donna is well aware of how the escalators have affected the district. Your we want to im 33 and ive lived here all my life here with my mother sister and son. The escalators are a major tourist attraction a bonus for locals like jacob iraq but who gives guided tools to the areas best graffiti. In the past few visitors would have dead to venture into coming that testa reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of whats often called the worlds most dangerous city. In. His words many friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors lots of people just disappeared it happened a lot around here over the school. Improving peoples minds this was the vision of Ballard House today that nation also encompasses Infrastructure Projects like these out dont escalate this. Because theres no money for this guy he has good leaders themselves only from the point the point is what theyve unleashed on people in the sense of community. Theyve created a sense of belonging of happiness and pride in the neighborhood. Market there in the far more than 30 families with small shops live near the escalators so thanks to the escalators local businesses are doing much better because someone you love it obviously loves every bit of it. I thought i was getting them you. These days consuelo gussie is shop is trying. Times used to be tough. Getting around used to be much harder. Than some other it was very hard terrible as it is here in the roads werent paved. No no they werent we had streets of mud you out here a month thats right but there were lots of houses here back then werent there. Yes many will make a voyage i wouldnt have ones thats right is the one ive got there was a narrow path a steep slope sometimes they had the water gushing down it ok it was a narrow sunken footpath you know. The escalators and the cable cars on the other side of the city that connect it to the fed they does have attracted international attention. In 2000 search team meeting was named the worlds most innovative city and. Can tell you nancy i did it as an a. I mean sure its a beautiful city very photogenic very friendly but theres more than one narrative of whats happened here. These Infrastructure Projects were designed to improve public transport like the cable cars but the all teary or motive was to sell the city the city has rebranded itself. In doing so it hasnt always put its residents needs front and center a further cable car line is under development. This together with other Infrastructure Projects has put some 600 families at risk of losing their homes. But it is the city for tourists or for those who live here in. Urban planners like carolyn do what they can to ensure its for the people who live there. Mexico embraced many of the ideas 1st explored at the barrel house as early as the 1920 s. And then in 1939 former bow house director hunted smiler received an invitation. He became head of the new institute for urban planning in mexico city. My there arent many buildings by meyer he spent 10 years in mexico but we dont have a single one. There nevertheless one is my influence an entire generation of mexican architects. As i can say with absolute certainty that bell has had a huge influence on many mexican architects who stuck with the mario party for example. In may he woke up on the radio but me and panda has been a major influence on me im sure that harness maya had a big effect on him. But its far more you know. Architect Tatiana Bilbao is interested in social housing. Less doesnt lead even there in making a. Situation in mexico is very difficult theres a huge demand for housing. And the housing that is available is poor quality very rundown. She wants to build Affordable Housing that does more than just meet minimum government standards. Im interested in the structure and my idea was to design the structure for a house that could be extended to become larger than 43. 00 square metres because thats just too small but i mean we wanted a flexible design that could respond to different needs and climate conditions thats one thats expandable. Said muslims see what that means but im going to say if. Shes designed a flexible pro. Type for a house that can be easily reproduced much like hanas meyers gang houses indes out its intended for the very poorest members of Mexican Society and is subsidized by the government the most affordable version costs just 8 1000. 00. The core of each house is made of concrete block the innovation is that this can be expanded with flexible modules. The population of mexico is growing rapidly inspired by the utopian vision of the ballot house tatiana bill dallas well designed homes are a progressive and creative solution to the countrys housing shortage. They were there for a map. Maybe its naive entering the idea that architects have the potential to make a difference that with. No plan here that i believe we did. In the 4th to me the most is a vision of the future it demonstrated what architects can do to help people in their lives. So they will mask it on their back that is and that receiver could identify most with the movement. In miami and. How this maya spent 10 years in mexico. At a time when its left wing government was introducing sweeping social reforms. To this have not is that the new yorker dirtier insisted that its architecture was an art form. Nobody young. There were resistant to harness myras hardly a rationalist approach the. Old man. So what did meyer accomplish work to support the plan to build units on every corner of. The us youre my list for 10 years laughs we dont have a single building here in mexico city already actually designed. With major but we do have many buildings that are a testament to his influence rooms. That. Give me yet more. Film about house teaches yosef and annie i was also helped by our house ideas spread across latin and south america. The couple traveled extensively through mexico cuba peru and chile frequently guest teaching. On the album as fell in love with mexican weaving techniques and traditional south american textiles back at black mounting college she passed on to her students what she demands. Mexican artists are more munoz sites and the albums textiles and prints as a major influence on how work on the yucatan peninsula she founded tech a social project from my own women that marries tech and tradition. These seamstresses used to work in a textiles factory that closed down. Theyve now found new ways to use their skills. In some project localness beautiful that meant this project as collaborative and participatory the basic game is to apply the do it yourself spirit to traditional crafting and the Maker Movement so close in a gap between artists and all creativity and technology they can look here. At the. Business side on all the cases theyre making here is a panel and the electrical sombrero hat it only works with rechargeable batteries but they have a godless. Stylus the solar panels are connected to each other using conductive steel thread forming an electrical circuit the women combine the conductive thread with henican the type of garvey that grows in the yucatan peninsula. Once the solar panel has charge for about 5 hours during the daytime it can provide enough light for 2 nights. But not about that its really useful at night when its pitch dark in my village. Its all nice and its so useful when i need to go to the toilet or hear a strange noise. Its a bright light and its very useful. For more encourages the women to feel proud of their skills and to find creative ways of using them. But at this also how does your husband feel about you understanding how solar power and l. E. D. S. Work and what a battery is what youve learned are the basic principles of engineering so even if you dont realize it. See. Its a great advantage for me. What ive learned and maybe that will help me in the future what i want. To see working with new materials and products is providing these women with a new life really hurt. Or thinking of making new products and taking them to market so people can buy them. These days not much traditional hedican is grown in the yucatan region the market is dominated by imported synthetic fiber from china. See not going to most. Of those you can be used to ensure that all your fashion skills are forgotten that it can help keep your craft and a traditional lives so why not use it. More munoz has found a way of Fusing Technology and textiles to secure a professional future for my and crafts women. She was partly inspired by the work of bauhaus artist as they identify as any other bears when any others 1st arrived at Black Mountain college she had to adjust to the circumstances. There were few materials to work with for example so she began using natural materials like pasture grass shrugs eucalyptus and shoot some equipment that at least shed leave them together with industrial materials just as we did with you cuttack big not. Every day design thats a hybrid of handmade and high tech is this the utopian vision of the bow house in action both houses the press and theres a strong bow house influence in many parts of latin america a strong connection but you see it with a Little Utopia like this one here this little social experiment it may be small scale but its exactly what they were aiming for when they established the bauhaus house at. The moment they believe youre lying friends ultimately you dont see the influence of an actual product any more of those a lot of time has passed. 100 years thats a long time. See you but its philosophy using translation the way designers are taught and trained in the us your love for them us your laws and seeing of your spouse is always the starting point. Is a. Bell house was a movement but it was 1st and foremost a school its goal was to foster a new generation for a new beginning education was of paramount importance. The inauguration of the new campus of the German School in madrid. Students and professional dancers are exploring the premises experiencing space through movement and idea that also has roots in the bow house and workshops. This is. A key to the schools architecture is very striking it makes a statement that says loudly and clearly this is the German School this is our identity the minute i entered and saw how open it was i was going over its own bonded out the architecture expresses the openminded identity of the school. At the bauhaus the transparency of the architecture was coupled with a fresh open minded approach to education here that signalled by exposed concrete glass and many of. The buildings each frame and in a courtyard together they form a honeycomb with me she is for students to gather in. The skylights create a play of light and shade. Just like you take your concept there are several key factors in the architectural concept thats very important to us as a school is that it expresses how the separate structures form an ensemble a Community Connected by the courtyard. Now and strasse room windows overlook the surrounding landscape and. We are very fortunate to have such a beautiful Natural Environment the greenery colors it creates a peace and quiet a sense of longevity all of which is conducive to learning a lesson height. Of. Perspective in the sticks and. Todays society calls for a new approach is to learning. Which architecture can help consolidate. Density polish and form the architectural forms of the building and clearly have a structural aesthetic and artistic value citizen via that was up to us it also has a very pragmatic value our teachers use it as a reference for lots of sketching and Creative Work with the students so its also a source of inspiration as im bored it does inspire the year. That. The site this is shows how meaningful buildings can be and how the building help students identify with their school. How do we want to live in the future this was the central question posed by the bauhaus 100 years later is one that still being purchased. Here for example. She cargo birthplace of the skyscraper a city thats always drawn architects from all over the world. The id institute of design was founded in 1037 as the new bauhaus taking up the mantle from the German School. Today it focuses on whats called human centered design an approach that has little to do with architecture or furniture. Instead it seeks to shake peoples lived reality one focus of research is a project called recovery park in detroit michigan. There are more abandoned lots in the inner city here than anywhere else in the u. S. With the collapse of the Auto Industry in detroit the city went into decline unemployment is rife. In 2013 the city of detroit filed for bankruptcy. Legally. Detroit has lost 2 thirds of its population so weve gone from a city of course for 2000000 people to a city just hovering around 600000 weve done a lot of work with Design Thinking people out of chicago to really think about how to use land effectively how to rebuild infrastructure in a different kind of way how to create the jobs. Gary was new york is a former drug addict he spent time in jail and after he was released struggled to find work. His personal experience drove him to set up recovery park. Its an urban Agricultural Initiative that uses vacant land and provides jobs for over 20 people. For social mission is to create jobs for people with barriers to employment so people coming out of prison people struggling with you know disease of addiction people literacy issues homelessness issues chronic on employment issues we provide 100 Percent Health care for our employees we make sure that people have housing and we make sure that they have transportation to make sure they have clothing make sure we have food in their clabbered at home we provide all those things these people not only work here they can also learn a trade and evolution of the bow house ethos design has gone social. Kevin harrison is training as a guard now. That is why he shot. Walt and then goes off to stores and feeds people and thats this is beautiful i love i love what i do. It really is like like the long start from the season in the movie and all people is is beautiful. Gary was in the recovery park is more than a job creation scheme for the socially and economically disadvantaged the enterprise is urban farm currently supplies 133. 00 restaurants he hopes that recovery part will one day be the biggest urban agriculture business in the u. S. I still want to be the motor city because thats given us a worldwide brand but i also want to be known as a food so you also want to be known as a social impact so that. The social impact of architecture is also a central concern of bellin based architects juergen my aha his experimental utopia is push the boundaries of what architecture can do often transgressing them. Today is confronted with a challenge Design Planning has to be innovative on several fronts. The 1st of course in terms of construction. Materials and methods of pave the way for very different types of architecture so. Real for example we build something with laminated timber and a polyurethane coating thats now the biggest wood construction in the world like. The metropole parasol in Seville Spain has a maximum width of 150 meters over 3000. 00 wooden parts are held together with glue initially there were doubts it would work. The high performing glue is a Technical Innovation the architect wants to expand the boundaries of. The possible. His organic design has breathed new life into seville old course. Yogen meyer high has been called germanys greatest architectural hope since powerhouse his designs would have been technologically unfeasible in bell house days using 3 d. Modeling he can incorporate prefabricated elements without full fitting aesthetic value. Hes currently working on a building for a university in berlin. We have my desk there our building is very sculptural and made of in for a lightweight concrete you contains from glass gravel and clay aggregates to improve the concrete insulation capacity so well have a fossil free for some without polystyrene and additional insulation. Itll be a very low Maintenance Building most polls. At the balham gropius also experimented with new forms and materials. If he was still designing buildings perhaps they would look like youre going my own hoss sculptural but also practical. The battle house is a thing of the past. As is the flurry of reconstruction and the abundance that marks the postwar years in the west. Todays design experts must address the explosion of urban populations and the shortage of housing in times of dwindling resources. And the hotel. Well house was very interested in sustainability in being economical with resources and materials we shouldnt forget that this was an era of rampant poverty and see our armament site. Go top of the house never had any funds and the students had to be very thoughtful with the materials they worked with. For leaked. Thinking small thats at the heart of a social experiment underway on the grounds of the ballot house archive in the tiny house you live in. The projects initiate is german architect. Homes for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future at a time when the system was changing from a monarchy to a democracy. Back then no one knew exactly what democracy would look like with equal rights for all would look like what a home would look like if everyone had a right to their own kitchen filled with light and with about what would a society in which everyone had access to education actually look like. Today people are once again rethinking architecture and education from the ground up. These are all homes and this is where people can experiment fashion a question theyll be investigating is how can we revolutionize architecture and learning and it starts with small questions for example how can we use space without owning it. The thing is thats where the idea of the tiny house comes in one which i find very charming from a tiny house on wheels if its on wheels it has a number plate it has the legal status of a car and a car doesnt need its own piece of land. Like. This in place is 6. 4 square metres line thats not much at all but when you look around it feels generous here there are really high windows and the ceilings are 3. 6 metres high. Is it time we reevaluated our standards could we learn to live in less than 7. We could solve a lot of problems by downsizing. As i hear this is because it. This is the bathroom. Yes this is a toilet a composting toilet and this is the shower. The modest wooden house is the result of an ambitious idea an affordable flexible and democratic living solution a house for Digital Nomads for people who dont need or want to be tied down they could set up home anywhere even a campsite. The modular tiny house is a most vile recyclable and easy to assemble. On a tiny houses to tiny house is a movement that were working for the good of society looking for answers to urgent problems such as hunger access to water energy migration those wont be solved on a campsite for years and years of. The worlds population is expected to reach 10000000000 by 2050 new Living Solutions are urgently called for. The idea that we need to own as much as possible is very very deep inside us sell sell what want dont ask questions weve been doing that for 100 years now we need to rethink this we need to ask ourselves is constant consumption is doing us any good and i dont consume construct thats my motto i mean theres like a bunker. When every inch of the earth has been built on well we need to find a new planet to colonize. Interesting lee to get to mars the moon would be the stopping point so the moon makes mars possible. Sir Norman Foster one of the worlds leading architects has already started exploring new frontiers. Ive always been fascinated by space by flight by aircraft. Lunar travel. The mars project with grew out of a lunar project with the European Space agency essentially you take robots out to the mobs and the robots mixed with an additive the dust the red dust of mars. And the robots learning from the bone structure. In humans create a show with the dust which is mixed with the attitude which is over an inflatable structure. First this settlement would be built with the materials found on the surface of mas transporting steel girders and concrete blocks into space obviously isnt an option. While of course that is Science Fiction so the things that i dreamt about and read about. As a as a young person are now reality but i think the whole space thing is in a way perhaps like the tallest building in the medieval cathedral the reach for the heavens i think its human nature i think its always striving trying to break boundaries trying to stretch the limits of of human ingenuity to defy gravity. Bounce house was all about visions of the future chancing new ground and trusting in technology. Todays world is Global Digital virtual and high tech colonizing other planets no longer sounds like such a crazy idea but do we really want to return to. Life in an underground cave as off each other. I think the future of op planet is about. To fez spring already own house in order and return our focus to the needs of the many perhaps powerhouse still has a lot to teach us. I think after 100 years the ideals of the box are more relevant today than they were that we need design ingenuity to tackle the big issues of our time rapid urbanize nations Pollution Climate Change so essentially youre talking about the world out there on the streets parks bridges public transport all of that is designed for the bomb house was about design so it was a very optimistic a very utopian but down to earth view of design in the broadest sense. Id like to think that what we do today as out he takes his design as has been this is about the quality of the life and the passionate belief that if you improve that quality the quality of design will improve the quality of your life. An idea that began with ballot house no one knows what tomorrows well it will look like but design will shake it and sustain it. If the only constant is change then design is going to go on for as long as human beings inhabit the planet and beyond the planet. After a river.
