You know what team if holistic aesthetic that. Free thinking. Honest their fiduciary values critical fast. That is our house. After 100 years the ideals of the bonds are more relevant today than they were that the spot. For 100 years ago about house reimagine the future. Event how will we learn. About posts back the boat house influence is everywhere those guns set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. As the honest thing is that everything has an ideal heights and ideal size and thats what optimize is its utility but nothing can. You know if there was this kind of push to go wherever you are 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 after tech chip 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 bauhaus 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 will draw up plans for a large Housing Estate on the outskirts of berlin martin urban planning would tackle the housing shortage nearly all the new homes which 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 copious starts was a dream there are cameras sure lurcher shows them one at newsarama huge apartment with a bathroom and everythings all running out water unbelievable i still love the cold. Your turn vice beca and hands scaled neat moved into the cold as soon as it was completed. 1st of all 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 used to shine also moved here in 1006. 107. 00 or 29. 00 applications for apartments i got for offers including this place for hugh 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 almost. Capias 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 like area new housing projects were to be built in the citys green outskirts to forge their own goal saw. The idea of huge urban estates had already been explored on paper as a utopian vision by architects in the 1920 s. By to talk. Pierces vision of an urban need topia was defeated by circumstances beyond his control in 1961 communist east germany built the berlin wall dividing the city into and exacerbating the housing shortage. Called p. S. Originally planned residential blocks with 14500 apartments and a maximum of 14 floors in the end there were 19000 the park. And up to 30 floors. Gropius his original vision ended up massively compromised. To kind of test. 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 state and was from this by this point vital p. S. Had long been living in the us but. Didnt have much time or go to it for he could only be reached by phone. Knowing that he paid a visit maybe 3 times a year so. He was never in charge of the project and there was more of a consultant at the godfather of the wire as you take to it. 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 that. Is him after his death the whole complex was named after him which must have made him turn 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 hotspots. But to use her advice becca untanned scale kmita it was home. I love 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 as a shared. Today go ph 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 still only. Our work is architects and urban planners is about people. People matter to carolinas. And urban planner from meddling in columbia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. Traffic cloaks the streets and spawning for vale 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 to 384 makes his up the hill side now the 140000 residents of community trista 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. And your we want to bob 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 of the areas best graffiti. In the past few visitors would have been dead to venture into commune that reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of whats often called the worlds most dangerous city. Like theres more to many friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors of people just disappeared it happened a lot around here full of elementary school. Improving peoples lives this was the vision of powerhouse today that nation also encompasses Infrastructure Projects like these help dont escalate his. Records or issue but its going to escalate or themselves arent even the point the point is what theyve been lifting people in the sense of community. Theyve created a sense of belonging happiness and pride in the neighborhood. Market 3 for more than 30 families with small shops live near the escalators so thanks to the escalators local businesses are doing much better i mean by that is from when you look at obviously lots of it. But i have 0000000000 extension 000 so you get it then real. These days Consuelo Garcias shop is trying. Times used to be tough. Getting around used to be much harder. Than somewhere 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 repeal of mud thats right but there were lots of houses here back then werent there. Yes many will make a voyage and i wouldnt have ones thats right is the one i got there 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 5 main as have attracted international attention. In 2013 meeting listening to the worlds most innovative city. To take us through that day that hasnt. 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. No matter. 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. 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 battle 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 we found hundreds might there arent many buildings by meyer he spent 10 years in mexico but we dont have a single one. Nevertheless one as my influence an entire generation of mexican architects. Influenced him as i can say with absolute certainty that bar has had a huge influence on many mexican architects who spoke on 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 hundreds meyer had a big effect on him and his letters from we have no. Architect Tatiana Bilbao is interested in social housing. Yes theres a little baby in there but theyre not saying 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 square meters because thats just too small but i mean we wanted a flexible design that could respond to different needs and climate conditions thats one that expandable. Said must let see what that means but im going to say if. Shes designed a flexible prototype. 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. The population of mexico is growing rapidly inspired by the utopian vision of the bow house bill dallas well designed homes are a progressive and creative solution to the countrys housing shortage. They were there for a matter. Maybe its a naive entering the idea that architects have the potential to make a difference that with. No premier that i believe we did. 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 its 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 it is that the new yorker dirtier insisted that architecture was an art form. And nobody and. They were resistant to harness myras hardly a rationalist approach. So what did miner accomplish this year forecasts a project i dont plan to build units on every corner of the us you remember this for 10 years laughs we dont have a single building here in mexico city already actually designed the story of the 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 bell house ideas spread across latin and south america. The couple traveled extensively through mexico cuba peru and chile frequently guest teaching. And he 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 and more munoz sites and the albums textiles and prints as a major influence on her work on the yucatan peninsula she founded tech a 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 nesby to project as 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. The. Business side on all the cases theyre making here this panel and the electrical sombrero hat it all works with rechargeable batteries but there are other godless. 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 charged for about 5 hours during the daytime it can provide enough light for 2 nights. Not to but that its really useful at night 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 eyes and its very useful. This is more encourages the women to feel proud of their skills and to find creative ways of using them. This is a. Good bet is that 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. You know looking to see if its a great advantage for me what ive learned and maybe that will help me in the future. This is working with new materials and products is providing these women with a new life. Were 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. Sea not going to most technology can be used to ensure that Old Fashioned skills are forgotten it can help keep your craft and a traditional lives so why not use it in a. More menial 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 powerhouse artist as they identify as any and bears. And the 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 pastor grass shrubs eucalyptus and shoot some equipment that at least shed leave them together with industrial materials just as we did with you cuttack pick. Every day design thats a hybrid of handmade and high tech is this the utopian vision of the bow house in action but theyre 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 bow house hows. The melamine to your leave your line friends told them or you dont see the influence of an actual product anymore. A lot of time has passed. 100 years thats a long time. See you but its philosophy using trends in the way designers are taught and trained in the us your love for the most your laws and saying of all the promise is always the starting point. Isnt. 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 an idea that also has roots in the battle 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 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 blocks and many of. The buildings each frame and in a courtyard together they form a honeycomb with knishes 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 thats very important to us as a school is that it expresses how the separate structures form an ensemble a Community Connected by the courtyards. Knowledge classroom 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 the lesson height of. Perspective in dealing with the sticks and. Todays society calls for a new approaches to learning. Which architecture can help consolidate. Density of heated polish and form the architectural forms of the building and clearly have a structural aesthetic and artistic value it is and 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 as i could board it does in spirit the year. That i. Was. Here at 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 still being purchased. Here for example. She can get best place 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. Leaving. 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 in iraq as 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 unemployment 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 they are food in their clabbered at home we provide all those things these people not only work here they can also learn a trade an evolution of the bow house ethos design has gone social. Kevin harrison is training as a gardener. That is part of the. Wall and then goes off to the stores and feed people and this is the beautiful i love i love what i do. It really is like like long start from the seed in the glass into 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 bellin based architects juergen my aha his experimental utopias push the boundaries of what architecture can do often transgressing them the house for. 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 have paved the way for very different types of architecture so surreal for example we build something with laminated timber and a poly your thing coating its now the biggest wood construction in the world to. 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 my own has been called germanys greatest architectural hope since his designs would have been technologically unfeasible in battle house days using 3 d. Modeling he can incorporate prefabricated elements without full footing as that take value. Hes currently working on a building for a university in berlin. There are building this very sculptural are made of him for lightweight concrete contains 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. It will be a very low Maintenance Building their bottoms are most holes. 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 bellhousing era is a thing of the past. As is the flurry of reconstruction and the abundance that mops 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. Across hostile house was very interested in sustainability in being economical with resources and materials we shouldnt forget that this was an era of rampant poverty i mean see our armaments. 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 never. City. The projects initiate is german architect. Homes for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future i did 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 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. Because thats where the idea of the tiny house comes then one which i find very charming from a tiny house on wheels if its on wheels and 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 hes a fence there are really high windows in 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 and 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 they 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. The idea that we need to own as much as possible is a 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 we dont consume construct thats my motto. When every inch of the earth has been built on well we need to find a new planet to colonize. Interesting really to get to mars the moon would be the stopping point to the moon makes mars possible. Said 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. Lamars project with nocive grew out of a luna 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 mas. 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 good is and concrete blocks into space obviously isnt an option. 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. That 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 name number 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 hope plan. 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 box house are more relevant today than they were that we need design ingenuity to tackle the big issues of odd time rapid urbanize ations Pollution Climate Change so essentially youre talking about the world out there our streets parks bridges public transport all of that is designed 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 aki checksums designers 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 its 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. Nearly 1000000 People Killed in just 100 days.
