You know what if holistic if they think that. Free thinking. Honest their fiduciary values critical fast. That is our house. After one hundred years the ideals of the bombs are more relevant today than they were the spa horse for one hundred years ago about house reimagine the future under the if you dont how will we learn we learned in school kids posts back the boat house influence is everywhere those guns set out to formulate a language of design that was universal service as a listing that everything has an ideal high its an ideal size and thats what optimize is its utility in not you know they want this kind of push to go out from wherever your propaganda or your design or worldview everywhere where youre an artist. Bound 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 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 nine is behind the engineering appeal of balance. A british furniture designer with nigerian roots in norway lives in london his fascination with chavez places him firmly in the balance tradition he trolls the city in search of inspiration. Once all of the books on the topic of the boss by the window in london are always it is always cheers everywhere you know your money because there are more for sure there are other units im just always looking around im always there inquisitive to kind of see whats around you know and then one fighter you never know what you have in the us that thats the beauty of ford do. You think or doesnt find anything that strikes his fancy on the street. So he tries his luck in a charity shop. This is called versatile. It. Was quite cool. In the first person to sort through since the feeling in the fortys fiftys through this whole terrorism its not its not its look its not clear its the truth of this sixtys or. 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 go along with them you know kind of also you know the word it kind of use different materials there for me have so i was in college pilots for that sort speaks to me because there is a look at the trauma section so the kind of the. Image on was maybe on the walls it could be a line in you know maybe this could be green just once from going to the concert where i would see in movies you know these these these these line. And also this government with the Musical Instrument with the guitar sort of the most. Intuitive design that was a bedrock principle of the bowels. Of the art School Environment germany was founded in one thousand nine hundred nineteen by architect devide who called p. S. He was joined there by many of the most venerated artists of the time. After the ordeal of the First 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 man ship. It was developed by swiss painter your highness it can encourage students to work in she would cheerfully and experiment with forms colors and materials. The characteristic colors and forms of the bow house influenced artists such as powell clay and vassili kandinsky. The primary colors red yellow and blue and the geometrical forms of the square triangle in circle have become the trademark of the bauhaus. Theres an abundance of form and color in yankee ilori studios in london. West but its put this on the perimeter university so after the Green Furniture making on a Product Design you kind of teach your so a lot of the processes as you go along and it was no vertical so lots of history. Its the kind of design of graffiti there was a lot of making which was very. Competently set design and ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the bow house school that would have been right up to st chads house part of his story. Actually understood why my parents loved to nigeria and what it meant to be africa and be a black british you know in london and how powerful that was and how you know that i i feel like a power because you know everyone is piers morgan is british so what i wanted to do was read so my narrative using the anteroom parables. In these sort of thing there was an interesting story and we found out the converse of if it was actually inside but it was israel not its that it was a study that. By our school and i think for me its one of the best stuff sort of scene actually because it was just mind blowing and just see in ireland just just not knowing that i was actually existed in nigeria i think even just think about race me smile wish me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of north east for images people are just fast they are. The university of campus in nigeria list designed in the one nine hundred sixty s. By about house when she lets her issues around. Africa in spades shaped and being shaped by. Bauhaus for sure look at this chair complete with looks like an african. To me influences from africa in this piece here this is indeed the african chair a collaborative effort by to bow house monsters design a muscle bra and textile artists good test. The good school the teacher at the fear i mean without even knowing. A lot of most oprahs role and i think i have a copy in the hope this story must do to others copy it could be really you know as i see it you know i put it in a charity shop. In chick. Who just are a lot this visual the super from more than sixty is moving as were just going to. This is really nice this is a ridiculous zine. It was in one thousand twenty five once the school relocated to death that bauhaus started to become more widely know. From his glass fronted office by to 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 decile foundation. To buy a house was pretty crazy it has to be said when you look at the building you can see how radical it was and then there were all these girls with short hair working together with boys all very casual it was quite a provocation. It didnt get us out of there paul qatif. The bellhousing to 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 of her death and that i would take to work not mistaken for. The new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters houses to obvious designed these homes for the balance teachers and their families construction began in one nine hundred twenty five. The homes of call b. S. And last low mccoy knowledge were destroyed in the Second World War into so. In foreseeing they were rebuilt but not so much reconstructed as re integrity its. Just or laugh nikolai designed the interior of the way knowledge house. Or not as well as an artist noir 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 at least during this pressure. 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 about house so between just last ring was as a very simple artisanal activity so i decided on four 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 read of. The horses and the houses crying out to be photographed. There is no one about grouse it was very diverse there was a bit of everything before it had claimed it had lemme hundreds meyer who had a staunch lead socialist agenda. Missing on the whole he wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for pure form of what it was good will it have people who introduced compulsory yoga classes if you truly fascinating is of course what happens when a Design Movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life the first run deep. 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 side of things and also. They closed or read a short isolated situation they never invite to be friends or even come in they dont know it but next to each other i think. Is seeking an entirely new approach. Ok i have to change my mind are they go to read the city of king a different way of living in tokyo so i propose a. Completely different way from one room apartment in tokyo. The highlights the familys Housing Solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can they hire shes wife before the couple got married. The house was very small studios her twin towers of trees and everything corridor show or. Room everything was not separate so she was live at that house others are for those people do. So when we find it useful we have about twenty people. It seems to do that but its too big for her alone so maybe really what to do some shows. A shared house for people who arent necessarily old family and who are willing to redefine their relationships to one another. Medio is converting the old house into a house for seven people a home like this would be an affordable for a family isnt the realisation of like a good movie and so slow in your ways you need to learn to land and people it doesnt have a lot to show so why not people doesnt like in no way. I was there and go there and they need to do something. Meticulous measurements so as to use the space as efficiently as possible. The small bedrooms on the upper floors separated by and lights and every hallway. A bridge between the private and the shared spaces. Using their steps they could see them here but if things so that they. Indeed be here room six. Rooms the small while the shared areas are spacious the multipurpose living room is where residents and friends can 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. And shes a big fan of german bauhaus. Law. Most spy. Arc back from my thanks to them. From his mother. And all so he makes it very simple and the looks very easy but its not and the gates go with a sense of place as outside the room in the room and the foreign minister to relate it all together and this is kind of months. Bauhaus had close ties to japan from the outset this house was built in the one nine hundred thirty s. By you well you know my wacky who studied at the Bell House School. In one thousand nine hundred fifty four 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. In the work meo often refers to this weighty manual compiled by announced noise that another bauhaus graduates. The First Edition of his architects data is in. The current edition of this International Bestseller was updated by architect yohannes kister. Soon as you start planning a new project you reach for your north fork its currently in its forty second editions one hundred 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 chair. To compile these norms noisette carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. Before this was mentioned the problems wasnt the first to measure daily life. But the radical approach or of relating architectures space and Spatial Relationships to such measurements and the radical extrapolation of space allocation and type biology from these relationships that was the cornerstone of us. As for those people. The book was finally published three years after the battle house was shut down by the nazis but the efficiency of nice sets manual suited the totalitarian system and the nazis coopted it for their own purposes. After the wall with its merits could once again speak for themselves it became a bestseller. Nowadays noise can be found in architecture firms all over the world. But. One space is needed for an elevator how much space do you need in a kitchen and industrial kitchen canteen. What size should something be to work well in its environment it forces them. Its just so useful because when we. Know like example of this sort of follows if youre flipped this we can find very basic measurement knowledge or we have to know but we cant put everything into 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 bell house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found. Himself. Director an immensely yogi is the guardian of his legacy one boy to nish to climb climb the hunt 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 given a list a generalist who could be an architect or a topol grapher or a painter a sculptor a photographer. I am an Industrial Designer who represented the universal. Through the only real solution and the manifesto of the weimar state house was published in april nine hundred nineteen 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 mohnish view is these is also known that what theyve wanted to avoid was a drifting apart art on one side art for arts sake salon art sound on the other side the more down market applied art that is craft. Its the this hundred. The bow house code blurred the distinction between fine art and to play darts. Then and now the starting point is always the material of the significance of around twenty five percent each of and courts and fifty percent carol one thing we also know amazing how this dust can turn into something with so much ball look. Author wasnt somehow elastic to imagine it being poured or molded its texture is so great. Guns tell you how their fellow. Ballin 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. In supplying depression kings with beilin porcelain. And why 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 things thats very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved and broadens our minds. Off. The k. T. S. Pulse lane is all hand crafted. Ceramicist says that the ballot house environment began designing simple modern porcelain tableware for the cape pm in one thousand nine hundred twenty nine. The new tendency is marking the one hundredth anniversary of bell house by collaborating with the k pm on a commemorative plate. But there was 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. And when i look at it from the front theres a lovely play of light and shadow which uses the industrial and constructivist aspect is a great contrast to the delicate postle and we find that contrasts very intriguing comes from. Reminds me of bauhaus photography the light in shadow and other negative space. Weve got to if we explore these elements with our designs to start off until. New tendency designs practical high quality products theyre not interested in mass production. But theyre kind of craftsmanship has a price one that not everyone can afford business though is thriving. Complete internets and were completely international we got 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 convincing. In keeping with the bell house spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision. And the s. And essential part of the bauhaus appeal is that all the us was keen on the idea of synergy. Vision thats become reality. Between creative disciplines are increasingly blurred. And first i need a vacuum. And the material softens and starts to melt it melts very fast and then it gets smooth. 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. Saw 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 more modern for these men i wanted to replace man made with machine made machine made. Us i had ticked all i have a background in architecture perhaps thats why i tend to focus more on production methods used in industry and Industrial Design just. Very ideological principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function first. And standardize ation the idea that everything has an ideal height and ideal size in order to optimize its utility so i fit in mention that does not. Im really intrigued by the idea that rather than simply buying an item of clothing that you could buy canned or computer aided design days yet you get your data go to. Workstation and the machine makes the clothes for you and the caddo this design is based on a 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 trend its not meant to be taken seriously its really the big event the catwalk show in the evening. Last minute pitfalls are inevitable. Will the trousers fit but. I never forget that. It. Would be if that was the big guy that said it would be this is just so long. This is just that. I have to wait there taking a photo of you. I. Think 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 quintessentially bound. There. Are no guns in our forks 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 and for sheena to correct here or that i think theyre gropius realized that only 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 one nine hundred twenty Nine International exposition by me stand there for the surge director of the Bell House School the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair with co designed by miss founder and powerhouse master. The creative scope of the Bauhaus School was a unique a printing and advertising workshop opened in deaths out in one thousand nine hundred twenty five. 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 we now call corporate design. When among the capital of jordan decided it needed its own branding it hired Graphic Design a young gal who specializes in type faces. It was a pretty daunting task. The. First came to a modern two thousand four. As a young student and then i came back in two thousand and eight to develop a typeface for a month an arabic and latin type design for the greater amman minister polity us about it it was my Graphic Design graduation project at the University Environment it and by my. Son is one of the first type faces that bridges the gap between western and arab farm designed by about house graduates geologists its obvious crossing ships here but these days youll see a man typeface on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material that set him off killing folks and i was very fortunate to be able to help him find the urban landscape its just to give visual identity of the city just as if this is where National Spirit just dished up. The middle east insists he is also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little hit no way and more often than not so much what. Where as the amazon found on this Cultural Center its impossible to overlook. The formation of the so prominent of all you could i was happy to see it in such a prominent position in the city was rebranding itself but the result was a disaster for. The good that i have for hands my type designer soul and wasnt supposed to be like this is the equivalent of taking a painting or a photo and stretching it its really distorted thats how they why thats whats out. Thats what that is michelin i mention not everyone is thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this job with. The same law and so in the arab world the main how to sort of typeface designer of beirut and cairo. Among those are very young the city its only one hundred years old and the field just doesnt exist here officer. Thats it anyway designing the font was my own idea is a shift soap style. Was going to me this is a lovely use of ramadan touch in arabic and work in spring in bold but probably on a. Visit known companies about the need to start on the rough edges i built into the design were inspired by a certain atmosphere in the city. And it gave us an aggressor. And as a kind of rawness the lack of polish that i want to define to express is. That there are lots of people here do apparently agree that the front captures the mood of their city rushed up. 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 art and craft. After years of extraordinary creativity the bow house had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis once a diode rise across nine hundred thirty three was the end of the road the bow house was founded environment as a state subsidized school thats why it was called the weimar state house holds water just how it was a Municipal Institution and timberland it was a private institution financed primarily out of mis funded always own pocket. Also forced to close its breakup helped to evolve into a global movement. Pacifier fun fun on the internet some from the outset the bell house was very International Thanks to its International Connections it wasnt all that hard for the bar hausers to disperse around the world after the schools closure for a time. The bell House Movement also left its mark in television. Between one thousand nine hundred twenty and nine hundred forty some four thousand buildings built in the modern style were erected in the city center. In two thousand and three the white city was made to unesco world Cultural Heritage sites. The white city was largely the work of architects who had studied with practical p. S. And other european architects. In the one nine hundred thirty s. Many jews fled growing antisemitism in europe and emigrated to palestine there they contributed to the making of the new society these days many of the buildings of fallen into disrepair the paved his peeling and the facades crumbling. However the unesco world Cultural Heritage status has helped raise awareness of these buildings historic value. The max leading house built in one thousand nine hundred eighty six is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. In 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 shock us 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 a change gee 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 its the company was called loewy there are all sorts of treasures like that here you know where. This is the center of its a zone its interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. We say cant for cantor or edge cant come to with the book and circle for a socket or a base cross put some shine put scratchcard stone plaster we say she wished the german word for planes 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 one nine hundred thirty s. Not just materials but skills newer. Dimity any kids in an artist. Sharon is meeting up with should be to the she who gives tours of the white city shes an expert on the architects who gave televisa eve its distinctive look.
