this year one of the world's most influential art and design schools turns a hundred and the centenary is being celebrated in big style. but how much do we really know about this famous movement and how much is made we went to find out we encounter some fascinating women. discover forgotten thousand house works and tracked down traces of family house in africa. what remains of the spiritual battle house today and how did it all start. design classics which are simple and functional designed by a small art school which revolutionized the industry hundred years ago powerhouse dispensed of unnecessary frills with its radical vision. to copious wanted to

rethink architecture in the arts with artists such as best we can do. at leon on finding out he founded the state house in weimar in one nine hundred nineteen. their arts college soon became an avant garde. in their workshops they experimented with materials and formed creating design which was unprecedented in its clarity and functionality. but it didn't appeal to everyone the first show home in weimar was seen as a provocation and met with heavy criticism a bunch of free spirited individuals who held nothing sacred not color materials nor perception. breaking conventions they explored new lifestyles which were rather too wild survival by nine hundred twenty five it was all over they were too adventurous for their home city. they ventured on to decimal and industrial city that welcomed the bell house with a. open arms and funded

a completely new building for their school. the master houses were built nearby white cubic villas for the professors designed in a quick but by house artists with furniture from their own workshops. director of. the city with the ball house movement the church and settlement offered light space and a garden for everyone as an antidote to the cramped gloomy residential blocks of the industrial cities every last detail was designed with precision and the three hundred fourteen terraced houses were built cheaply and quickly. also designed by gropius was the employment office it was one of the first of its kind with bright glass corridors. the same ascetic was used here for different purposes with coffee goes riverside cafe on the album. from one thousand nine hundred twenty eight its new director harnessed maya made the bow house even more political and

radical his houses were an attempt to mix social classes based on need and not luxury. funding ended when the nazis came to power in the bauhaus close in one nine hundred thirty to one last privately funded attempt came from miss fonda. but it failed in one nine hundred thirty three the boat house had shut down. is about house history have its ideas run their course hardly in these times of our people people are rediscovering its visionary potential how was by house continuing to inspire today we visit via again. constantine by a is used to having breakfast in his gallery his just like one big family the famed as an artist of the. graduates of the legendary bauhaus university their contribution to the hundredth anniversary year is called contemporary bauhaus the.

flyswatter is. which can also applaud for the bar house. all of. this private gallery is the official showcase of the bauhaus university and the artists don't see bauhaus as a brand but an attitude towards the weald a common theme in their art is the destruction of the environment and the loss of nature constantine baez installation focuses on this theme to artificial palm trees and a shell which doesn't contain the sound of the sea rather the babble of advertising slogans these works ask questions of society in keeping with the principles of bauhaus. how sustainable should our society be how do we handle digitalisation these are the questions we analyze in our exhibition the challenges of the next hundred years but. thinking big and acting globally the gallery i can home has become an international institution foundations the great institute and artists

from china are all part of the worldwide network of the gallery owner and his business partner bianca folk to creating synergies was the principle of the bauhaus university right from the start. as a media artist which i am you could use the architecture workshops just as well as the product design or workshops. or this brings in an interdisciplinary aspect along with the sense of community which was characteristic of weimar because. it's such a sense of community hasn't always been a given in one thousand nine hundred twenty five the borough house had to leave and was regarded as a disgrace environment just like the gal forum is today a monumental nazi building right next to it a mighty cube has been erected in the new battle house museum. bright and

minimalist an architectural statement. its purpose is not to conserve the balance tradition but rather to act as a forum for discussion. aesthetic i'm social questions are opened up again view true the mirror of history. and there are some incredible things to see from playful structures and expression of sketches to little wooden houses with so-called furniture for the people functional but far removed from what is supposed to be power house style by maya has long been a place of experimentation. assumes self said that before tackling the design of objects you basically have to put people in new clothing particularly during that period in the nineteen ten's and twenty's there was a lot of talk about the new human but everybody meant something different by itself also reflected many different concepts and images of the human dimension of conflict here it was a time of upheaval on the one hand the human body was liberated but on the other

the human was in slave to the rhythm of the machine technical progress of hope both nightmares and fascination no one could escape it. in the boathouse stage. transformed dunces into mechanical figures the triadic ballet is famous for its cost james. painting and the stage performance intertwine. weimar always had the space to experiment to risk new things i think that's one thing that still resonates today at the bell house university which also works very experimentally of course it also works internationally but it is very experimental movement a change of venue the gallery i can hi i'm also has a permit chamberlain the exhibition is called from the lab to the studio media artist hymn book is running a workshop he teaches design technology at the bauhaus university experiments with

elect. onyx which he also uses for his own work. in the exhibition he shows a subversive program which allows people to pixelate their face using a special batch. he calls it the wishing machine let's get in the it's all about privacy for all those smartphone pictures of me or other people that turn up on facebook and they're automatically tagged with face recognition and then my name is on and if i just want to be myself for an evening without a bizarre photo of me turning up and then this will be a solution to this photo from the off talked with us to those on. is also an inventor he designs new surfaces for control devices at the moment he's testing materials with an chambers to create all kinds of inflatable shapes. i showed this to a group of textile engineers and they immediately said great this is just what we need

. this could also be the hold for an inflatable car. again suddenly during the production process points of reference a period that we didn't even think of at the beginning here from beginning. to get me i can hi i'm provide space to research new technologies in an artistic way think laterally and ask questions this is where the bauhaus lives on. that house created a number of modernist pioneers among them the three powerhouse director has filed a gropius had a smile and nice fun to roll her but was the powerhouse just a boys' club that's a myth there were also some outstanding women. but what these women lacked was a kind of professional representation to find out standards for three.

female artists. consciously being forgotten is something that can also be observed in painting sculpture in literature and in many many other areas a number. of these women were rediscovered when a political and social discourse began about women's role in society. but who were these modern a super women. three who left their mark on the ball house were writer editor and dollhouse first lady he's a global. furniture designer and paul house master levi. and textile artist ani all of us like many female pupils at the ball house she had to learn weaving though she wanted to study painting albus began studying at the powerhouse in one nine hundred twenty two though she never intended to become a textile artist she was a natural talent she was inspired by yourself her teacher and later her husband and

the paintings of colored clay. her work is now being rediscovered in europe. the death and they really are one of a kind police says you can instantly tell that here. has created something extremely special. that's coupled with an incredibly interesting dialogue between the material and it is not a torn about being fashionable. as works seamlessly interweave elements of industrial production handiwork and art in one nine hundred thirty august became the first female to graduate from the bell house school for her final project she developed a fabric for the trade union school and banal today a ball house landmark her material was used to cover walls of the school auditorium plain and simple yet revolutionary it reflected light absorbed sound and was easy to clean. and the eye was funny of us develop this text on. after much

consideration and research she used a material that had only been on the market for a few years cellophane today we know it from food packaging. after the nazis seized power in one nine hundred thirty three in jewish she and her husband fled to the us there she belonged to the artistic god and created experimented with talk and wrote about the art of weaving today her patterns and designs are enjoying a renaissance any of us is finally getting the recognition she deserves like other forgotten dollhouse artists and peter than many of them were recognized during that time and quickly and the respect of their colleagues both male and female and a lot of people also fell into obscurity during the years of political dictatorship and persecution here in germany that were here. these forgotten vile house women are now being celebrated in new books like these are. the wife of the

us contributed to the interior design at the director's house of death she was a new kind of woman the perfect heroine for a novel. conley in the know it these women lived in a new era they could vote and be elected they could do jobs traditionally done by men there was a feeling of freedom that they could do anything and smoothly he commands. these young wild free spirited and strong pioneers dared to take on new roles. the daughter of an upper class family becoming a working woman unheard of back that is a goal to be a structured in a new lifestyle. something said first and the whole self concept of women working outside the home was one that had to be learned. maybe that's what made eason so rebellious and revolutionary. she modernized household economics to save the women of the future time which they could then devote to that professional activities

were. suitable. for years christiane along a has been conducting research on another modernist career woman league ice she was already a key figure in the art scene when she became about house master and head of the school's interior design workshop in one nine hundred thirty two. when her partner architect miss funder of war built this house in berlin she designed the furniture . lehi she also worked with him on the villa also included no trace of her work remains why has there. been forcible you know during my research i realized it simply couldn't be done because she was female nowadays we might call any high she's superwoman she was incredibly well organized communicative and very assertive even with men. the fact that she's been forgotten can be attributed solely to me as vanda one but also to the male dominated writing

of history that was looking for classic heroes he warns of. heroes like nice wonder whore who designed the german pavilion for the one nine hundred twenty nine international exposition in barcelona together with believe. in fact she was the pavilions artistic director and it's doubtful whether he's fond of all were designed it's furniture on his own. so who really created this design classic. and. it's an interesting question because this is an iconic piece of furniture the day bed. but there are many indications that many high created it. it was first published under her name in one thousand nine hundred thirty tunes. on the any drawing of this day bed that exists is also by her from around one thousand nine hundred five and it's the anyone from the pre-war period of the foreclosed side as early as one nine hundred forty nine new york's museum of modern art devoted a solo show to any all of us textile art though outside the. united states she's

still relatively unknown. isa copious is now a novel heroine but in real life she was an editor organizer and equal partner for the ball house founder. and clearly highish the few surviving documents show that milly ghosh was a great designer and far ahead of her time but starting in one nine hundred thirty three when the nazis came to power wasn't so choosy about who she worked for she wasn't the only one who. when the nazis took over nine hundred thirty three they closed down the bauhaus bond controversially some leading bauhaus lines continued they would under hitler. to each his own i'm a cop sign at the nazi concentration camp in broken part. created by inmate and

former boss pupil funds and it uses the unmistakable boss typeface despite the fact that the nazi regime denounced the school for its degenerate art and even pressured its leadership into closing the bar house in berlin often said in the in the official propaganda they rejected the ban has entirely it was considered to be bolshevist jewish muxes and everything the nazis deemed negative in banking is not an auditing this must stop but an officially that stance wasn't as clear the nazis saw the typical bar house functionality as a sign of progress and welcomed its new objectivity. and the artists how did the guard of the bauhaus respond after nine hundred thirty three. to. take her about bio one of the most influential boss teachers he create a graphic design on the universal typeface which became signatures of the ball house. but starting in one nine hundred thirty

three by. began to create nazi propaganda designing catalogues and exhibitions which celebrated the ideology of racist doctrines of the third rush. of a t.v. series there were a film about house people and teaches who remained and were eager to continue receiving commissions in germany ones who then exhibited little of the bauhaus is reformist spirit and ethical principles to coincidence. responded was no exception in one nine hundred thirty four he joined gerber's chamber of culture supported hitler and contributed to nazi exhibitions he just wanted to build regardless for whom enticed by new commissions he emigrated to the united states in one nine hundred thirty yet there he designed iconic structures like the seagram building in new york. nice fonda became a star architect his pandering to the nazis was soon forgotten and hasn't tarnished the boss's reputation to this day still there's little reason to place the bauhaus

on a moral pedestal. some of the vile house teaches in students who went into exile became successful in the us our house became internationally famous but it was never a purely german phenomenon teachers and students came from all over the world areas sharon had experience life on a kibbutz and tell us time and brought those ideas with him to disallow later he returned to the middle east and built a legendary white city in tel aviv and a pioneering university in nigeria. a family oh no university in a family in the south west of nigeria. area share on this university campus is open and airy. tailored to the hot climate on the your ruba culture when the tank and the university became the symbol of the fledgling democracy and we think new discoveries is very important for the jugular for the

jews because it was. initiated exactly maybe sixteen. bendis of nigeria from the british. room. so basically it's the first action in the julian university and it stands for a protest against the. back then modernism was progressive and today c.b.s. fret aims to find out in his film moving away the exit. to . the. exit. the universe itself is pretty typical this it is there far away in far for people interested to be thought through these arts compost. this lecture circuit streets around two hundred kilometers to the

south is lagos. nigeria is largest city is constantly changing. like the representatives of contemporary bound houses. asks how do we want to live now and in the future she thinks the revolutionary ideas of a century ago are still relevant today. when we had monism comment in the end of any post colonial is that the architects that came of the day were modern and i love the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of lagos on the alley modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still today dr satcher lagos is expanding at a breathtaking pace it's africa's second largest city under one of the world's most densely populated somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects on creating that own design language. what was considered as african tenets of the

within the rule and. i'm not necessarily need to be realistic and design appropriately for the city that we live in the are we we have to face the fact that in the city of some people say eighty million some people say twenty two we need to live in a smaller and smaller spaces nike peninsula is an ultra modern and up market district of lagos here the architect is constructing minimalist housing units similar to ones built around the globe. a new architecture for new lifestyles functional economic and compact. so this is astounding two bedroom apartment so it's open plan kitchen it's really about i think efficient living. apartments for nigeria's growing middle class who are increasingly cosmopolitan. in the you always need to reflect on. on how living in a city is evolving and changing i mean the whole world has changed the demographic

is changing how people live the family unit is being redefined and we need to make sure that we produce an architecture that's reflects that and that's what the boss did back at the university campus in the family it's buildings were constructed in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's open on all sides they function like energy efficient passive houses and coolum sounds every inch of space is used efficiently architect ariel sharon employed ideas he'd learned during his studies of the battle house school in desk his architecture is tailored to the people and the surroundings the topography natural light and climate. this is no it was an offshoot said sure just rip you could still go to a pod well the old farm house already know this is more than welcome to talk about those things rest because god was going to. show me his design is part of bauhaus imagine if so or so. project and exhibition

that celebrates the bell house school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange the campus is seen as an architectural milestone. the buildings were kept as they were built and they still function. quite well and of course this is thanks to a very intelligent architecture what sharon the architect of this campus learned from his teacher the bows and the smile is exactly this very serious almost scientific approach. the crime of course would also be shoes. now house as naively open and global social dialogue that's what about has imagined instead is all about the project as a collaboration between the great institute the bell has corporation. and the balance house.

in the focus of the project is why was the bauhaus adopted although in the some cases rejected why was it used to be reinterpreted and we discovered that it was about creating a blueprint for a new society and a new relationship between art and society. the bauhaus artist's vision of a better world is just as attractive now as it was a century. that was old from twenty one day but we have much more to come in this in ten or a year stories to tell me it's to dispel discoveries to make and celebrations to attend.
