good to and should know but the poets are the reason for my journey today its the balls era that began one hundred years ago. Publicly and many more in One Thousand Nine Hundred they were founding figures of the Balls Movement Via Fine Art Design and architecture balls became a pioneer off more than a team first environment then in debt and berlin next year is the anniversary one hundred years but ill take a look at viola today. We explore the site for the new balls museum which will open in Two Thousand And Nineteen. We make a detour to the village of skin the walled up with the famous finding a church. And our viewers one focal point youll shows us where most likely it is the capital of argentina. My
first stop environment is the bowls university it was designed by the architect mainly by the video with bright studios and curved lines. Here as found at the balls in One Thousand Nine Hundred nineteen a school of art and design that would reveal lucian eyes the shapes and colors of the twentieth century. Architect thomas opted to take me on a tour. Here we have a stairway all the fundamentals are designed with its elliptical curves and its a very popular photographic subject people who come here immediately take a picture of. The reputation of the balsa track the top names like didnt ski and finding out i could tick by to spend years developing the artist network. After World War One called cruise picked up these contacts. And he came here in nineteen nineteen and said i want to do something completely new not just architecture and not just applied arts i want to fall into the artists artisans and architects should be trained together. Today about Four Thousand aspiring architects and Civil Engineers study at the university back in the day there were just One Hundred Fifty masters and students a small but dedicated community. Did the opposite and here we have the work of how about bio who started at the boss who did all he designed these works for the Boss Exhibition in One Thousand Twenty Three whats special is that he worked in can do skills class where red square isnt yellow triangles worthing combining basic shapes with the basic color form and can follow. Now the highlight of the tour this study of Fighter Group use sharper lines straightforward

comfortable furniture wasnt that a board to him right because i have to say this isnt a cozy chair. Just through this desk chair has been reconstructed from sketches and drawings theres no photo of it its not recorded. Would you feel gropius actually sat on a chair by decline at this desk because its not going to be a dog and later investor so there was a steal to share buyer musser ploy that he used at his desk and its that this one here is very lovely a radical but it suits the concept of this room when you look at the surrounding edge this all around the border and is that in the countries need you all know from the lies to. My two ends in this student your faith. Its no coincidence that bauhaus came to life here environment where once great thinkers of the enlightment gathered and worked if you visit weimar today youll be reminded of
them every step of the way. And would still feel at home environment today its a smallish town but these Weimar Classicists as they were known once made it the Cultural Center of europe. In the late eighteenth century it was ruled by carlisle guest the clever gene he recognised and supported people with great talent. He proved them to his cool and paid them to write compose and stage plays. His home on Transplant Square was then as now the most prestigious address. The poet moved here in seventeen eighteen and as you can see he was an expert when it came to shapes and colors. He wrote such great works as fast in his study here. He died in the room next door in eight
hundred thirty two. But it takes more than one power to make a golden age just a few steps from fallen plant is the house Afraid Lakesha left and. His friend girls are brought into weimar. They took the ideas of the enlightenment and humanism from via to the outside world. Not far away is the city palace. It is. A visit will give you an insight into how the art loving rule is lived. The palace had more than fifty state rooms. Duchess and amalia and her son col augustus had enormous wealth and they used it to promote the arts and science. Education libraries now known as the Ana Amalia Library is right next to the palace its rococo hall is often reverently called the pantheon of german classes and. In fact poets and philosophers came here to study the classical works it was run for years by the great cutter himself. On health south of the city that you call family had a Hunting Lodge built the bell there. Even if youre not interested in the bauhaus or the enlightenment if you just need a green o. S. s to take a break while your environment this is the place feel. Phrases of the balls.

This is spock im dead in where youll find the temple have been homeless a meal gothic building or about holes ma stuff its an had his painting studio it was bombed during World War Two and has since stood as a ruin in the park. And
finally the house on the lawn its the very first building built by the fellows in one Nine Hundred Twenty Three we cant visit at the moment because its being prepared for the falls anniversary in Two Thousand Nine Hundred. The house on one remains the only balls building environment in One Thousand Nine Hundred twenty five the both had to leave the city because the new conservative State Government cut the schools funding but other cities were only too happy to welcome both so gold and his colleagues moved to the only two hours away from by car. This oddly shaped building is the bunk House Academy and where the Movement Really took off it was the first House Building here. Now an icon of modern design when it was built it seemed more like a series of boxes that had landed in
a field. A cat fifteen a desk many people and yes i was shocked that architecture could look like this ive never seen anything like it it was an entirely new architectural language i think it was. The julia house with its distinctive balconies was germanys First Student dormitory it also belongs to the academy twenty eight by house as lived worked and partied here you two can spend the night in one of the small studios not glamorous but modern. In the masters offices and in skiing caulfields finding out and their colleagues allowed themselves a little more room the buildings look uniform from the outside flat roofs white cubes clear lines but the interiors show each masters own preferences. Multicolored and bright. White and minimalist it was an exciting colony of artists that bought
a gold fields had nurtured here. And to this day could attract visitors to death so from around the world.

me to the building site. Is the city is the building also but. Imposed. No its not our style its contemporary and most designed by berlin architect hike ahead of us but it is acute. And that immediately makes you think of the bauhaus with flat roofs and things like that and fluffed it has connections to the house to the. Canada is a real fan of means found or architecture cant apply that. To are done the. Right next door is the gulf which was built by the nazis as a demonstration of their problem. The Need Snitched gets to fairly and monday approximately isnt a coincidence of Spunk Hunted A has placed a building that to confront the go for was due to school board organ the height of the building is also in line with that of the gulf war and annoying balls museums
there are about the same height. On the side its a very selfconfident position in the plot Ceiling Pieces that the nazis worked on forcing the bauhaus out of the town so in a sense weve returned with great selfconfidence. Doesnt cause and said it was so. It takes a lot of imagination to picture the bright sure rooms that will be here when the balls museum opens in april Two Thousand And Nineteen for the first time there will be enough space to present the treasures of the fire my balls collection to a white audience. But its thats. When the bauhaus had to leave by My Old Copius had the opportunity to choose items from the bauhaus workshops on how to knit each.

Fifty six thousand people were murdered by the nazis here on at us back but france survived later he worked as an architect in what was then east germany. In general from up here you have
a great view of the Weimar Countryside and back there lies the small town of if youre a ball you should go there. The Narrative Church steeple overlooks the village of god of order now a district of vine. There are many churches and tearing and this one became almost world famous. That was thanks to the bounce artist lionel finding out. He often cycled through the countryside and painted on churches especially the one and.
