both so they can plant crops and trying to feed the system. floods and droughts climate change become the main driver of mass migration you could write any of them going to peace not if you want and probably more time to come to. the con effects of this starts people thirty years on d w. i know it says of peace at the heart of the capital i'm in berlin visiting the bauhaus. one reason why it's so quiet right now is that the museum is closed for

renovation. the bauhaus school was founded in one thousand nine hundred nineteen and next year will markets first centennial what better time to retrace its footsteps through berlin how did the bauhaus quite possibly history's most influential modernist school shaped germany's capital. bauhaus and what was that like and what still remains that's what i want to find out today through arts architecture and chocolate. also on the show the locals recommendations for cork and ireland. our of your video will take us on a tour through cambodia. and we'll explore a powerhouse unesco world heritage site.

the lens balance is set to remain close for a few more years due to extensive renovations in the meantime fans can still get their fix at a small outpost in the contemporary bauhaus a heap in this landmark retail store in the district of charlotte and book here you'll not only find a carefully curated shop with iconic design products there's also plenty of information on the history of the bauhaus actually. based at klavan shows me plans for the new archive. a large glass tower by the front will certainly make it more visible. and vast know what makes the bauhaus so relevant even a hundred years later down the hall. as a modest powerhouse as well house is a fascinating topic because its name and is intimately linked to german history doesn't intend now in light of the upcoming bauhaus anniversary we have the

opportunity to shine a light on its role in impact all of you for from take for example the last thirty years of research on the role of women or how about how students and masters fared in the third reich. we can now bring these topics into the open and talk about why we are so interested in the interview or period. we can talk about its optimistic elements and where it might have failed in the exchange between society and creativity. all these topics are related to t.v. to us and a list to the indian vised as powerhouses grew and. before continuing to follow the footsteps of the bauhaus here in berlin i want to give you guys a brief overview of the legendary school's evolution and how it came to travel from violent to death south to finally end up here in berlin.

the bell house school of design and architecture originated in the university town of weimar in the early twentieth century. here architect of alto copius merged the academy of arts and the school of arts and crafts into one institution his aim was to join art with craftsmanship renowned artists like the painters vassili convinced he and paul play soon joined together they pioneered a new language of colors and forms. the bauhaus design came to be known for its functional and elegant aesthetics it was meant to improve people's day to day lives . weimar's house on horn was the first building following the bauhaus design its cubic shape is distinctly minimalist in one thousand nine hundred five weimar stopped funding bauhaus the school relocated to the industrial city of decile hear about house engineer who go younkers designed things like gas heaters and aircrafts

. at first i was happy to host the bauhaus school and even afford it a brand new building. the feel of death of many people into so we're a bit shocked we've never seen architecture like this before it was an entirely new approach. it was. next door typical bauhaus housing was built for the professors or masters as they were called their uniform exterior belies the varied interiors it ranges from bright and colorful to white minimalism depending on what the inhabitant preferred. even the furnishings were created by bauhaus designers. decile commissioned bauhaus architect. to draw up plans for the city's new unemployment agency. in one thousand nine hundred twenty eight he was succeeded by harness my. as

a powerhouse director he oversaw the construction of dust sounds five houses with balcony access for low income residents people's needs over luxury mansions but in one nine hundred thirty two the nazis drove the bow house out of. its last director meese found a hole or oversaw the move to berlin there it was shut down by the nazis again bellhousing germany was gone but not forgotten. people had to wait until after world war two to see former bauhaus architects bring their ideas back to germany not far from the famous bottom of plants you'll find another bauhaus related construction site that no you're not. built in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight but ninety nine gallery was designed by the bauhaus as a last director fundable in twenty eighteen this icon of classic modern architecture turned fifty the design definitely stood the test of time but updated

safety and conservation all requirements for things to get a bit of a facelift. there's lots to do repairing damages installing a modern ac this is the first overhaul the nine hundred sixty s. museum has ever undergone and it is much needed. the noir not sonali gallery was designed at least fundable was architecture firm in chicago the former powerhouse director had emigrated to the united states in one nine hundred thirty eight but fond of always plans were originally drawn up for an entirely different project. opt for cool off you designed a building for the record company in cuba and have a glass hallway in the basement for the administration because they never followed through with the plans because the cuban revolution happened occurred he had to leave the island. because he couldn't construct it the plan was basically. shelved

you can't then fund the road got the berlin commission and adopt that the plans to the new project you have to in of a model for in that. construction began soon after in one thousand nine hundred five. by now an old man and traveled from the united states to berlin to celebrate the laying of the first stone the project was close to his heart. through. i dedicate this to the lights of the people the goods and services of the arts and the mines. gigantic one thousand two hundred ton steel roof posed a major challenge it had to be lifted very slowly miss found a whore watched carefully from his car. recalls the moment. the grandson were in the car they drove on the need the roof got outs and surely relished watching this vast new space take shape it was

a special moment for him it was a great is. unfortunately he was unable to attend the museum's inauguration in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight misspend all have passed away in one nine hundred sixty nine the noir not sonali gallantly soon became a major architectural landmark in berlin and a cultural hotspot. is a cop along this combination of glass stone and steel as exemplary prepares testimony to and marks the culmination of a long process of designing open spaces to be dissolved and one nice kind of always grandson inherited the rights to the building he now ensures that his grandfather's architectural legacy is preserved. stored that made him proud to be able to build a structure like this in his hometown. of to buy understands. the restoration of the noire not sonali gallery is set to be completed by twenty eight.

work on the enough to not go live you will still take a while in the meantime you can visit another creation by means funda in the whole district and nine hundred thirty three country houses built for the owner of a print shop. in your view what makes this house so special. this is well i don't know about you but most people tend to feel at ease here and the large windows create a feeling of a vast open space of freedom and openness by. often the inside is flooded with light it has beautiful proportions all of this creates a distinct feeling. that's why i ask you how you felt earlier when visitors come they tend to just feel good i mean this was a master at creating well proportioned spaces. better what is the house used for

today i see some pictures on the wall in the gallery space. yes it's mainly used to exhibit modern art buildings like this by nice funda hall or are grand and create spaces where so much can happen here it can be transformed with each exhibition. of the moment and also known for. that. and we deliberately look for people who fit the building and match muse unique style. but right now we have works by sebastian on display he's a photo and video artist. and as you can see his works take a humorous approach to furniture designed by me is. this property is shaped like a square of means have this house built on the northeastern edge of the square in

order to have a large garden. as you can see the neighboring houses were built in the middle of their respective property as part of the conflict is another example of his special talent for cleverly arranging buildings on a plot boyd of them construct. a country house with a yard in the middle of berlin not bad. i don't know about you but i just can't get enough of this green that's why we're hopping on over to ireland the emerald isle and this week's mina local our viewer john kennedy is taking us on a tour of us hometown court. fights ago called kick welcome to cork as we say in the gaelic language i'm john kennedy i want to welcome you to cork ireland's real capital city.

cork going to mazing up with spears a young city student city great pubs friendly people on the banks of the beautiful river leaf. so this is one of vikings from the city here the river now over a thousand years ago this eerily was a marsh containing many small islands and that's why the vikings from the city because from here they could trade and raid with the interior and cork the name comes from gaelic. meaning marsh or swamp. not a thing the special about cork is called has got twenty nine bridges on the river the double has only got twenty four so that makes all those the venice of our. present tense church was built in the eighteenth century built on the site of a much older medieval church not only is it

a beautiful church to visit but it's the act of church sunday services held here every week. and the best thing about st annes is you get to ring the bells. you choose the song you want played all the numbers and just listen to the song. here in st john's not only can we get to ring the famous bells we also have a terrific view of cork city. so this is where we get to show your corks english market famous for its locally produced and imported organic produce but it's much more than that i come here to buy my fresh fruit and vege however i also come here for the chance to catch up on

the gossip. so that english market dates right back to the eighteenth century it's called the english market because back then the only ones in the stalls and there were the protestants were known as the english and the name of the english market. was you know if you're very busy here today every dark know it's a silver lining in every survey lining of your clothes. so what's the best thing about the english market it's the sights and sounds it's the smells you can smell you can sense where the food comes from it's like having the whole world right here in cork. in the saudi finished in cork what else but in the pub this is where you meet genuine core people. and i can assure you when you're in the public cork you always have a point to beamish and you're never alone so staunch

a. bounce architect and contemporary innovator and number of housing projects in berlin known as the berlin modernism housing estates these subsidized homes are unesco world heritage site one example is the who are horseshoe estate what is the essence of this estate it's got the motto back then was lights air and song for all of us. the idea was to get people out of their crimes tenements out of their dark backyards and build spacious the states close to nature that's what happened here. we're standing in front of the horseshoe estates include it's like the realisation of part idea. because if new residents were welcomed with open arms welcome this is the home of the new man and there is fresh air and social encounters are part of the package.

going to address that link and there seem to be lots of parallels to the bauhaus movement here is that really the case you seem is well. under this is this really sort of the nine hundred twenty seven card was well connected and often pursued the same idea is. strictly speaking it is not about a house architect you know the taught or studied there pretty please he wrote on housing board and like a while to gropius he was a main figure in the german association of craftsman and the architectural collective reign but he also realized his own ideas here. because it's not. can you give me an example. of what it was going to tell its job to create housing for the masses so the idea was to build affordable worker homes so they created standardized houses. on hot potato it was a master at using small variations in extravagant colors to break up any monotony

and as extravagant top people. know to me of. modern architecture helped chamberlain as we know it today if you want to see another original powerhouse construction you should consider a trip to neighboring brandon book and we're now about an hour's drive from here in about our second director and it's my understanding a trade school alongside other powers buildings environment and death now it's considered a unesco world heritage site. in the late one nine hundred twenty s. hanna's maya the second about house director and his colleague constant value set out to design a trade union school that would provide an ideal setting for learning. today almost one hundred years after its completion the impressive building still fascinates

visitors young and old. i think if i were my i'd like this group of students that. you know if you work hard we're here today to gather inspiration for videos and familiarize ourselves with the bauhaus stuff. one typical bauhaus aspect here is that this complex was focused on the role architecture could play in facilitating learning all rooms were built with the outdoors in mind. concerns about some tell us something about this boathouse memorial this morning that it's once you know about what you did so fast don't think of it was the i was built in one thousand twenty eight and its prime purpose was to convey education and sound that was done quite effectively because teachers and students alike felt

a sense of freedom thanks to its beautiful natural surroundings and the space in a nice rooms are provided as if i avoid. them on. the building complex was meant to encourage communal learning and living. the school is full of incredible features that you often only notice at second glance. the students can't actually get to her now next to the gym. that has a really nice feature the windows slide open. so in the summer they can be fully opened. that way the gym feels like it's outdoors even i was actually inside. yeah. when your baby gets when you look around you can see clear materials you know paintings or ornaments just pure functionality so. fujitsu in order to.

understand could you picture going to school here on your. yes the memorial is situated nicely and i was nearby where you could go shopping the location is nice you have many options for spending your leisure time i could picture going to school here. today true to the bow spirit the chamber of crafts uses the building for vocational training. i'm still at the horseshoe estate in berlin just like me you're probably wondering what these houses look like on the inside bend bushveld shows me one of them. it's been restored to the original nineteen twenties designed today you can rent it as a vacation home. this

is typical furnishing from the weimar republic era. not it has a few modern touches like the slump or some of the earliest chewable or steel furniture produced in death so. that's ok too. time now for one of your travel videos this week mckenna female many shared his journey through come up with us he started in the capital phnom penh headed to the coast and then made as way to coat the so-called rabbit island oddly enough you won't find any rabbits there but you will catch and beautiful sunsets. down down down down down down every day if this was for you.

i in birdland there's plenty of the bauhaus legacy to discover often attempts to hide in plain sight. chocolate factory isn't just a must for anyone with a sweet it's also a place where you can experience the original bauhaus interior design your heart is

one of the first masters designed in one thousand nine hundred twenty eight. how did mr iton come to design the stores interior. professor my grandfather knew each other personally by the. boat sailed on lake van zyl and the future little boats because that's how they got to know each other. and mr holman just said hey i have a shop i want to design my interior or what happened to. my grandfather built this in one thousand twenty seven twenty eight miles far as i know professor it to not only designed the shop but also greatly contributed to the entire house and this was by a guitar comment often do people still come to look at the design or do they make. mostly come for the chocolates only large. most come for the chocolate lord but some are also interested in the architecture and are listed in several

architectural gods for them so people want to see that tonight with one board on i mean it's design isn't the only thing historical about your shop your chocolate is to what something i shouldn't miss as a recommender specialty chocolate. has only one or the manufacturer in germany that makes this kind of chocolate what it's produced industrially. hours it's made by hand you should try it.

the bows only survived a couple of months and berlin but the architects my director is still manage plenty of traces throughout the german capital really excited to see what next.

odd. powerhouse turns one hundred. one hundred years of modernist architecture. one hundred years of functionalism n.p.r. isn't. what's behind the legend. we asked the experts about the back. in thirty minutes on w. nights cribs with commuting legend.

last he saw a memorable morning semantic. games with. the audience today founded florrie in the slaughter house i am the law judge chris thompson and i think that on. a grade of seventy five. years what's coming up for the book loosely you'll have. plenty to talk about here for. the band a really good. dog. house if you don't know.
