About house is a legend the brilliance of the Bauhaus School remains undiminished even today. Even though its existence was short lived it continues to shape the world we live in. New approaches to education and training architecture painting down and design were explored and developed here. When hitler seized power and 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 bell house utopia and the principle that good design can improve peoples lives. In the early 1960 s. Vantage o.

Solutions to the housing crisis became more ambitious almost on the long run to happiness and his Architecture Firm tech the architects collaborative were tasked with drawing up a master plan of debate and i must stop.

Copious and. Originally planned residential blocks with 14500 apartments and a maximum of foreseeing floors in the end there were 19000 apartments and up to 30 floors.

In his vision nature wasnt contained it was an intake all part of the us stayed indoors from his by this point vital p. S. Had long been living in the us but. Didnt have much time. Before he 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 it 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 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 was no doubt about it at that because 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 love and people were happy here and i 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 a shared. Today gore 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. Would still end. Our work has architects and urban planners is about people. People matter to carry. An urban planner from meddling in colombia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. Traffic clogs the streets and spawning for veils define the cityscape. Its nearly impossible for buses to pass through these narrow steep streets. Of place but then the city has an idea. Today 6 outdoor escalate has extend to 384 metres up the hillside now the 140000 residents of Community 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. The escalators are a major tourist attraction a bonus for locals like j. K. Iraq but who gives guided tools of the areas best graffiti. In the past few visitors would have debt to venture into comune that tessa reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of whats often called the worlds most dangerous city. Like life theres more to come you will meet friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors lots of people just disappear it happened a lot around here over the school. Improving peoples minds this was the vision of powerhouse today that creation also encompasses Infrastructure Projects like these help dont escalate this. Because theres no money but its going to escalate as 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 they get out. 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 look at obviously thats going to. Go oh oh oh i thought oh yes then well. These days consuelo gussie is shop is trying. Time seems to be tougher. Thank you getting around used to be much harder. In the summer 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. These days yes many will make a voyage and i would leave once thats right is not what i thought it was a narrow path a steep slope sometimes there be water gushing down it. 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 1st name does have attracted international attention. Into sounds inserting measuring listening to the worlds most innovative city. To tell you nancy i did as you know. Sure its a beautiful city very photogenic very friendly but there is more than one narrative of whats happened here. These 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. But is it no matter. In doing so it hasnt always put its residents needs front and center a further cable car line is under development. Based together with other Infrastructure Projects has put some 600. 00 families at risk of losing their homes. The city for tourists or for those who live here.

Said unless lets 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. 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.
