Made for mines. You know what team if holistic aesthetic that. Free thinking or to. Be honest the evolutionary value for the current vast. German that is our house. After 100 years the ideals of the bar are more relevant today than they were the horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future. Of eden how will we learn. About house and back the battle house influence is everywhere guns to our house set out to formulate a language of design that was universal serves 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 you are properly with your design 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 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. What became of the balham few topia and the principle that good design can improve peoples lives. In the early 1960 s. Volunteer gropius drew up plans for a large Housing Estate on the outskirts of burnley in modern urban planning would tackle the housing shortage nearly all the new homes with him up for no 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 and moving to the copious stats was a dream. As sure lurcher shows them one knows all that he should apartment with a bathroom and everythings running hot water is unbelievable i still love the cold. You turn vice beca and one scale meat moved into the cold as soon as it was completed. Until i got married in 1959 and there were no apartments to be had anywhere nowadays things that easy in comparison housing was desperately needed back then one morning. When the old loans is to short also moved here in 1006. 107 or 29 applications for apartments you got 4 offers including this place for you i didnt have a car but i knew there was an underground start here so i took the offer here the doctors are here too if you. Can from the gulf coast the guy in the late 1950 s. And early 1960 s. Solutions to the housing crisis became more ambitious almost on the long run obvious and his Architecture Firm tech the architects collaborative were tasked with drawing up a master plan of debate and i must stop. Even before the war the rear courtyard buildings of many tenement blocks in berlin had been torn down to make the apartments in the front lyta area new housing projects were to be built in the citys green outskirts to force them to go also launch off the idea of huge urban estates had already been explored on paper as a utopian vision by architects in the 1920 s. 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. Copious originally planned residential blocks with 14500 apartments and a maximum of 14 floors in the end there were 19000 apartments and up to 30 floors. Gropius his original vision ended up massively compromised. To kind the rest. So he didnt want just patches of green she wanted a landscape with green flowing spaces between the buildings and in the. In his vision nature was in contained it was an intake all part of that he was saved was from his by this point vital p. S. Had long been living in the us. Didnt have much time. For you could only be reached but from. Knowing that he paid a visit maybe 3 times a year or so he was never in charge of the project and was more of a consultant 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 all peoples houses with 10 years did everything in his power to prevent his name being attached to the project he was deeply unhappy about it there is no doubt about it at the. End 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. Or ph that frequently hit the headlines as a crime hotspots. But to use her vice becca and tan scale to meet her it was home. Alone 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 as sure. Today gopi a stat is once again popular with families the area is getting screwed stuff 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 a social responsibility. Is still only. Our work is architects and urban planners is about people. People matter to carolinas. An urban planner from meddling in columbia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. Traffic cloaks the streets and spawning prevail as defined 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 384 meters up the hill side now the 140000 residents of community tressa one of the citys poorest neighborhoods no longer need to make the climb by foot. Jayco castano is well aware of how the escalators have affected the district. Im 33 and ive lived here all my life here with my mother sister and son. In the escalators are a major tourist attraction a bonus for locals like j. K. Iraq but who gives guided tools to the areas best graffiti. In the past few visitors would have been dead to venture into comune that tessa reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of whats often called the worlds most dangerous city. The city. Like right theres more to many friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors lots of people just disappeared it happened a lot around here over the. Improving peoples minds this was the vision of powerhouse today that creation also encompasses Infrastructure Projects like these help dont escalate this. Because this is what is going to be escalators themselves only from the point the point is what theyve been lifting 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 than anybody because someone you look at obviously lets get it over there. Its not our style you can use them well. These days consuelo gussie is shop is thriving. Times used to be tough. Getting around used to be much harder. In the summer it was very hard terrible as it is in the roads werent paved. No no they werent we had streets of mud it would be a month. But there were lots of houses here back then werent there. These days yes many will make a voyage i would leave once thats right is not what i thought it was a narrow path a steep slope sometimes there the water gushing down it. Was a narrow sunken footpath you know. The escalators and the cable cars on the other side of the city that connected to the famous have attracted international attention. In 2013 meeting listening to the worlds most innovative city. To tell you nancy i did it wasnt. Sure its a beautiful city very photogenic very friendly but there was more than one narrative of whats happened here. Infrastructure projects were designed to improve public transport like the cable cars but the alter your motive was to sell the city the city has responded 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 home. The city for tourists or for those who live here. 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 smiler received an invitation. He became head of the new institute for urban planning in mexico city. I mean if there arent many buildings by meyer he spent 10 years in mexico but we dont have a single one. Nevertheless harness my influence an entire generation of mexican architects. Seemed to let it influence him 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 called me and pioneers been a major influence on me im sure that hundreds meyer had a big effect on him. But its on we have no. Architect Tatiana Bilbao is interested in social housing. In the even the. 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 must see what that means but. Shes designed a flexible prototype for a. That can be easily reproduced much like. 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 8000. 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 bells well designed homes are a progressive and creative solution to the countrys housing shortage. They were there for a matter. When maybe its naive entering the idea that architects have the potential to make a difference that with. No premier that i believe we do. See in the 4th quarter 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 and. That is in that respect that identify most with the movement. In miami and. 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 york attacks here insisted that architecture was an art form. And nobody and. They were resistant to harness myras hardly a rationalist approach. So. What did the miner accomplish for it to support the plan to build units on every corner. Thats your list for 10 years laughs we dont have a single building here in mexico city already actually you signed. The major but we do have many buildings that are a testament to his influence in syria that. To me you have no. Film about house teaches yosef and annie arbor has also helped our house ideas spread across latin and south america. The couple traveled extensively through mexico cuba peru and chile frequently guest teaching. And the albus fell in love with mexican weaving techniques and traditional south american textiles back at black mounting college she passed on to her students what shed learned. Mexican artist sites and the albums textiles and prints as a major influence on her work on the yucatan peninsula she founded tech social project for 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. And some project local newspaper to that meant the project is collaborative and participatory the basic game is to apply the do it yourself spirit to traditional crafting and the Maker Movement closing the gap between artists and all creativity and Technology Look here. At the. Business side on all the cases theyre making here this panel and the electrical sombrero had it all works with rechargeable batteries but they never got a list. So i left the solar panels are connected to each other using conductive steel thread forming an electrical circuit the women combine the conductive thread with henican a type of garvey that grows in the yucatan peninsula. So. Once the solar panel has charged for about 5 hours during the daytime it can provide enough light for 2 nights. But not about that its really useful at nights when its pitch dark in my village. Its on all night and its so useful when i need to go to the toilet or hear a strange noise. Its a bright light its very useful. The loose. More encourages the women to feel proud of their skills and to find creative ways of using them. This is a. Good bet as 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 even if you dont realize it. Look and see if its a great advantage for me what ive learned and made will help me in the future. That. This is working with new materials and products is providing these women with a new life we heard. Is that. Were thinking of making new products and taking them to market so people can buy them have. These days not much traditional hedican is grown in the yucatan region the market is dominated by imported synthetic fiber from china. Most the hotline technology can be used to ensure that all your fashion skills are forgotten it can help keep your craft and a traditional lives so why not use it. More men your says 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. Ai couples any and 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 them into meticulously shed leave them together with industrial materials just as we did with you cuttack not. Every day design thats a hybrid of handmade and high tech is this the utopian vision of the bow house in action but the bell house is the press and theres a strong bell 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 experiments it may be small scale but its exactly what they were aiming for when they established the bow house housed. The moment the. Line friends ultimately you dont see the influence of actual products any more of those a lot of time has passed. 100 years thats a long time. See but its philosophy using trends in the way designers are taught and trained in the. Most your laws and signals pass is always the starting point. Is a. Bauhaus 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 downs 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 won over its own bonded. Out the architecture expresses the open minded 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 to your concept there are several key factors in the architectural concept that is very important to us as a school is that it expresses how the separate structures form an ensemble a Community Connected by the courtyards will vary from. Knowledge classroom windows overlook the surrounding landscape and i know. We are of course very fortunate to have such a beautiful Natural Environment the greenery the colors it creates a peace and quiet a sense of longevity all of which is conducive to learning the lesson hide. Perspective in the sticks and. Todays society calls for a new approach is to learning. Which architecture can help consolidate. Density pollution form the architectural forms of the building and clearly have a structural aesthetic and artistic value. The other was up to us it also has a very pragmatic well you know our teachers use it as a reference for lots of sketching and Creative Work with the students so its also a source of inspiration and the boy who does inspire the year. By. 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 its one that is 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 and approach that has little to do with architecture all furniture. Instead it seeks to shape peoples lives to 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. Leaf. Detroit has lost 2 thirds of its population so weve gone from a city of course the 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 a recovery park. Its an urban Agricultural Initiative that uses vacant land and provides jobs for over 20 people. Her 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. Product on employment issues we provide 100 Percent Health care for our employees we make sure that people have housing we make sure they have transportation to make sure they have clothing actually or food in their clabbered at home we provide all those things these people must who need 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 god not. To get a part he felt. Was. And then goes off to the stores and feeds people and thats the beautiful i love i love what i do. It really is like white long start from the seed in the glass and the people this is beautiful for gary was a recovery park is more than a job creation scheme for the socially and economically disadvantaged the enterprises urban farm currently supplies 133 restaurants he hopes that recovery park 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 birdland based architects juergen my aha his experimental utopias push the boundaries of what architecture can do often transgressing them. I thought it was a texture today is confronted with a challenge Design Planning has to be innovative on several fronts. First of course in terms of construction. Materials and methods of pave the way for very different types of architecture so in seville 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 3 new life into surveils old course. Yoga in my heart has been called germanys greatest architectural hope since bal house 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. He is currently working on a building for a university in berlin. We have my assistant there are building this very sculptural are made of in for lightweight concrete you contains a form glass gravel and clay aggregates to improve the concrete insulation capacity so well have a fossil free for some without polystyrene and additional insulation. With little be a very low Maintenance Building their bottoms are most holes. At the battle house gropius also experimented with new forms and materials. If he was still designing buildings perhaps they would look like your going my own hands sculptural but also practical. The battle house is a thing of the past. As is the flowering of reconstruction and the abundance that marked the postwar years in the west i todays design experts must address the explosion of urban populations and the shortage of housing in times of dwindling resources. I now hotel across was 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 i go top of the dollhouse never had any funds in 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 berlin the tiny house university. The projects initiator is german architect van barrow the menses. A holes 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 what 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 their homes and this is where people can experiment fashion the 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 or. To think 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 a legal status of a car and a car doesnt need its own piece of land. Around here and all this kind of this maze is 6. 4 square metres line thats not much at all but when you look around it feels generous here hes a whole defense 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 square metres we could solve a lot of problems by downsizing. As i hear this is because it. All in tears this is the bathroom. Yes this is a toilet a composting toilet and this is the shower solution. The modest wooden house is the result of an ambitious idea then 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. The snow on a tiny house 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 that is of. The worlds population is expected to reach 10000000000 by 2050 new Living Solutions are urgently called for so. 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 through the moon makes mars possible. So Norman Foster one of the worlds leading architects has already started exploring new frontiers. Ive always been fascinated by space by flight by aircraft. Travel. The mars project with nasa grew out of a lunar project with the European Space agency essentially you take robots out to models and the robots mix with an additive the dust the red dust of models and the robots learning from the bone structure of the new models and humans create a show with the dust which is mixed with the attitude which is over an inflatable structure. Just as settlements would be built with the materials found on the surface of mounds transporting steel girders and concrete blocks into space obviously isnt an option. Well 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 cathedrals the reach for the heavens i think its human nature i think is always striving trying to break boundaries trying to stretch the limits of of human ingenuity to defy gravity. Down house was all about visions of the future chanting new ground and trusting in technology. Todays well disclosure 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 our planet is about top class. To 1st bring already own house in order and return our focus to the needs of the many perhaps bauhaus still has a lot to teach us. I think after 100 years the ideals of the gods are more relevant today than they were that we need design ingenuity to tackle the big issues of our time rapid urbanize nations pollution and Climate Change so essentially youre talking about the world out there of streets parks bridges public transport all of that is designed for the boss 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 aki texas designers has been this is about the quality of the life and a 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 will look like but design will shape 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 be on the planet.
