welcome to this edition of your own max which this time around focuses on aka texture and still zine here are two of today's topics. bollocks now about how design classics get modern make over and it's. been funicello and you project up cycles of plastic waste into colorful top. one hundred years ago a very special school was founded the bauhaus its architecture design and art found fans around the globe the bauhaus school was open for just fourteen years but that was long enough to create a form that still influences our lifestyles today and we take a brief look back at how it all again. the whole school was founded in via modern one thousand nine hundred. years recruited the most famous artists of
6:32 am
the time six years later the boat house moved to. the school building itself stood for a new kind of architecture functional and unadorned the principal form follows function the result revolutionary ideas that transcended the boundaries of design painting and architecture powerhouse buildings can be found all over the world as here in tel aviv and our house furnishings are now design classics. this folding chair was designed in one thousand nine hundred twenty seven and those in the know recognize it as a classic by design that must have boyer at first glance this chair also looks like the original but look again until you'll see it's been given a colorful revamp the form remains the same but the fabrics been packed up to celebrate one hundred years of bars a german furniture maker is giving these souls design classics and you and khalaf

a look. this is a says director's chair from one thousand nine hundred two twenty three. and here's it's twenty eighteen re-interpretation. this is a. table from one nine hundred twenty four. and here's the twenty eighteen edition . about house now house presents design classics from the bow house school and a new look. these are the works of german furniture makers. i devote as we didn't want to put our house originals on a pedestal and view them as the museum pieces that they often are today let's stay quite the opposite we wanted to take them down from the museum pedestal and bring them back to life. and that's why that's our goal because we make furniture. so we got together with young designers to show this ball house furniture you know not
6:34 am
a lot of balls move it in noisily. christiane the russia is an expert when it comes to bauhaus furniture for over forty years his company has been reproducing classics from the one nine hundred twenty s. . strictly according to the original designs. one of the main principles of the bauhaus school was form follows function so every piece of furniture is suitable for daily use but that's not all. that's then this these are more than a regular piece of the urn a trolley moved through there not just ordinary sofas and chairs was there for spirit and somehow the transport and exude that. crafts people and designers work together in the tech the workshops in the town of la and for the lower saxony. it's a work process that was also practiced by powerhouse founder business.
6:35 am
basic idea of reuniting art with technology with crafts. was at the core of the powerhouse spirit and school of thought that thinks one of the balls was and it was very important to the results produced by the school. and many of the classic pieces have now been reinterpreted by young designers for about house now house. berlin based designer cutting tiling tackled in a fifty one p.s. is director's chair. also to the challenge was how much or how little can i do to this chair so that it remains true to. me but at the same time is recognizable as a new interpretation from twenty nine thousand and one. using new surfaces and upholstery tiling created six different versions of the chair. they still look modern today and for her that's proof bauhaus designers were far ahead of their time. and they seem to look at
6:36 am
the collections from a century ago. they were full of strange and utopian ideas which never became socially acceptable you know just so what. if i took a look at us and the others me back then in an ordinary house. in them and in the minds of holes. in this one hundredth anniversary year of its founding about house designs still have the power to inspire. jennifer but off month from berlin creates bashings which pay homage to the design school. german croatian industrial designer constantine burchett's creates bauhaus inspired pieces. and austrian label noise about i wear has dedicated designs for sunglasses to architect about to go p.s. and painter. furniture maker christiane the fresh lead believes that the current popularity about house classics is more than just a recurring trend. in movies and not what it says furniture is timeless you know as
6:37 am
were the other things that were created there. and the architecture. but what really excites us and spurs a song is the spirit of this school of thought is i think she will. whether bauhaus or now house whether from one thousand nine hundred nineteen or twenty nineteen these pieces of furniture only reveal their true age at second glance. and today's show we're focusing on architecture and design and in our next report we have for the top off a very special structure that nears the tower in no way is the world's tallest wooden high rise and because skyscrapers anomaly bells with concrete and steel and this friend you tim a construction is an architectural might still. the wooden high rise on the shore of lake near the norway valley has eighteen stories and a speedy five and
6:38 am
a half meters high it's the tallest wooden building ever to be built worldwide. the project was the fulfillment of a personal dream for developers. it's a symbol of what is possible. to make inward complicated buildings and also high rise buildings and how to reduce c o two this is sixty percent lower c o two than in steel and concrete you think clearer and clearer so it's healthier both for people but also for the nature. life has an apartment on the fifteenth floor.
6:39 am
the thoroughly enjoys being surrounded by wood. like this i feed the birds you can smell the bird all the good you see makes. doing something with you so i think it's more like me. right so you feel that actually with you. it took years of pioneering work to make the wooden tower impermeable to wind and weather. it was designed by detector and movement a company specialized in timber construction. project coordinator. ventured into new architectural territory. we have never done anything like this before so it was always about believing that it is possible a lot of hard work and a long night trying to figure out how can we do this the biggest problem. lightness
6:40 am
of the material so all the force of the external force as they will try to tilt the building or shift it. a little bearing called had to be something deeper into the ground than usual. proofing was never a major issue the thick wooden beams can withstand the blades even longer than steel another factor behind the trend in building with timber. this eighty four meter building under construction in vienna is also made out of want or don't france is building an entire development with eco friendly material and architects in london are planning a three hundred meter tower meter. i think it's a symbol of the green shift we have mental to think about and using. a friendly method of building. for the future not necessarily tall buildings but rebuilding who can use that. wooden high rise also offers
6:41 am
a hotel and conference rooms. the higher you go and the more you sense the wooden surroundings. residents of the upper floors have to get used to the creaking in the swaying of the timber believes. if we in this area would have a storm i think you can feel it a bit more like you think you feel it. it's living material so sore i think you really have something and that's normal and this is good. so far wouldn't highrises remain the exception but them you're so tower is a good example of what apartment buildings could look like in years to come.
6:42 am
and with that. the plastic bottle has served its purpose now it's trash every year more than three hundred million tonnes of plastic and up on the gap a sheet that some people are looking for ways to encourage us to reduce this problem one project by greek architect and through the design our panel sac us doesn't just aim to make us aware of this problem but also helps to brighten up his city and the project goes by the name of print your city. plastic recycled into a new form with a new function. the seating elements and the greek port city of saloniki are part of a project called print your city. plastic waste as pops cycled the furniture from a three d. printer. the idea came from the dutch design studio the new role. as from greece as one of the projects founders. plastic is
6:43 am
a mis understood material which is it's not the material that's the problem because i mean how we use it packaging for example yeah but i did my skill as it might only be used for a few seconds but it never did great so i could not but you know if we use it in some other way later we can change things and improve our lives. this is precisely what kano suckers hopes to achieve with the project. we designed the furniture to allow people to experience public spaces in a new way with different last years. rather than sitting right they can relax a bit more as if they were sitting in their own living room. this is the feeling we'd like to put across these and bring private living space into public spaces of the fatal mental emotional. anyone who wishes to participate can suggest designs online or select pieces of furniture from the various templates the ones that are selected most often go into print product
6:44 am
a very thought i was so happy when i was walking through town one day and saw that a bench i had designed had been printed and then it's there for everyone thank you to the others that you know. as soon as a new design template goes online the amount of recycled plastic needed for the three d. printing process is calculated automatically. at the zero waste or research initiative of the new raw people in festal uneek you can find out about recycling and deposit the plastic trash cleaned sorted shredded and melted down. personally i don't like to just throw things out at all but it was a side i think we ought to have a responsible attitude toward our planet. after all we use it's resources year by year. it takes about seventy kilos of plastic and ten hours to make a park bench from a three d. printer.
6:45 am
none of the colorful seats i've already been placed around saloniki center and more plans for adventure leave the idea is to spread them all around the city. the combination of recycling and design is proving a hit with the locals and visitors alike. it's very impressive to see that you can transform waste into something a static in this way you're picking up everyone can enjoy it and sit here with their friends it's a definite gain. nothing negative about it people. the printer city project was launched in cooperation with the city of the saloniki the younger generation in particular for the target group. we're going to keep it going we've already agreed to place more furniture pieces in other neighborhoods and yes . i think it encourages
6:46 am
a new culture and approach to issues like recycling zero waste production you should assume actually among young people. and if the park benches ever fall apart simply be recycled if it's a good idea and a sustainable one. and today's show you know max is focusing on and design paul is studying architecture so you could say that already makes him a bit of an expert he says we live in a world that is often grey and drop and as a keen photographer he shows us how somebody can look a lot better she just at a splash of color. gray reality becomes colorful urban fantasy geometric the signs are canvases for splashes of color. photographer and architecture student ice transforms the often plain structures into genuine i

6:48 am
photos as a criticism of contemporary architecture. he says modern designs lack a spirit of experimentation and courageous ideas. doesn't the industrial building and construction methods that were developed back then were implemented because they offered a way to build a lot for a little money. concept of progress behind them didn't take hold. we have no innovations in architecture there too i. can add colorful accents he turns an apartment block and lintz into an artwork in primary colors red yellow and blue. inspired by dutch painter piet mondrian. he also cites architects from the powerhouse tradition bruno touts design for workers housing in berlin placed equal emphasis on form functionality and color. architecture photographer apologizes
6:49 am
giving the tobacco factory a thorough remodeling. on his computer he removes unwanted elements corrects the perspective and colors in various surfaces. this is not quite the primary colors used by house but rather a more up to date interpretation with. this image to serve as a call for more courage in architecture. graduates scopes to design innovative buildings of his own colorful ones of course. luke was one of the most famous architects and furniture design is of the twentieth century born and switzerland he fell in love with the mediterranean and built a little holiday home that to get away from it all and enjoy french lifestyle in the early one nine hundred fifty s.
