he takes it personally you went with all the wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true for. my. golf more than football long line. of the for. them. this year at bell house 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 a 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 stop. design classics which are simple pure and functional design by box a small art school which revolutionized the industry one hundred years ago house dispensed of unnecessary fruits with its radical vision fall to copious wanted to rethink architecture in the arts with artists such as best we can do. at leo not finding a he found of the state house in weimar nine hundred nineteen. there arts college soon became an avant garde hot spot in their workshops they experimented with materials and formed creating design which was unprecedented and it's clarity in functionality. but it didn't appeal to any. we won

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 colored materials nor perception. breaking conventions they explored new lifestyles which were rather too wild provided by nine hundred twenty five it was all over they were too adventurous for their home city. they ventured on to an industrial city that welcomed the bell house with open arms and funded a completely new building for their school. the master houses were built nearby white cubic villas for the professors designed and equipped a doll house artists with furniture from their own workshops. director of p.s. shape the city with a bow 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 a static 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 powerhouse close in one thousand thirty to one last privately funded attempt came from miss fonda and barry lynn but it failed in one thousand thirty three the boss had shut down. it is about house history have its ideas run a course hardly in these times of our people people are rediscovering its visionary

potential how was about house continuing to inspire today we visit weimar where it began. constantine bya is used to having breakfast in his own gallery it's just like one big family the found as an artist of the gallery i can hire all graduates of the legendary bauhaus university their contribution to the hundredth anniversary year is called contemporary bauhaus. the other fly swatters. which can also applaud for the ball house thus also. 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 vias 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. thanking pink and acting globally the gallery eigen home has become an international institution foundation's the go to 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. million cars 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 buy a 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 and social questions are even death again due to the marrow of history. and there are some incredible things to see from playful structures and expressionist sketches to little wooden houses with so-called furniture for the people functional but far removed from what is supposed to be about house style by mom has long been

a place of experimentation. assumes self said that before tackling the design of objects you basically have to put people in your clothing particularly during that period in the nineteen tins and. twenty's there was a lot of talk about the new human but everybody meant something different by it selfe 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. and the boat house stage. transformed dunces into mechanical figures the triadic ballet is famous for its cost james. painting and the stage performance intertwine.

weimar always had this space to experiment to risk new things i think that's one thing that still resonates today at the bauhaus university which also works very experimentally of course it also works internationally but it is very experimental for them until a change of venue the galloping i can hi i'm also has a burma chamber and then the exhibition is called from the lab to the studio media artist him boycott is running a workshop he teaches design technology at the bauhaus university experiments with electronics 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 that's good in the garden because 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 a face recognition and then my name is a common denominator 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 because for the from the off talked the distillers on. christiane gold is also an inventor. he designs new surfaces for control devices at the moment he's testing materials with and chambers to create all kinds of inflatable shapes. i showed this to a group of textile engineers and they merely said great this is just what we need. this could also be the hood for an inflatable car. again suddenly during the production process points of reference appear that we didn't even think of at the beginning here from the beginning i'm gonna have. 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. the.

valley house created a number of modernist pioneers among them the three thousand house direct is gropius hana 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. well these women left was a kind of professional representation. by not standards for take. off the 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 more rediscovered when a political and social discourse began about women's role in society. but who were these modern a super women. and. three who left their mark on about how swer writer editor and powerhouse first lady is

a global. furniture designer and paul housemaster the neophyte. and textile artist i mean all of us. like many female pupils of the balls she had to learn weaving though she wanted to study painting albert 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 you also of all of us her teacher and later her husband and the paintings of old clay. her work is now being rediscovered in europe. they really are one of a kind pieces you can instantly tell that here on the album has created something extremely special. and that is coupled with an incredibly interesting dialogue between the material and it is not at all about being fashionable.

all of those 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. on the i was on the other has developed this take down 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 limbs would have been after the nazis seized power in one nine hundred thirty three being jewish she and her husband fled to the us there she belonged to the artistic of uncovered and created experimented with talk and wrote about the art of weaving today her patterns and designs are enjoying a renaissance only out of us is finally getting the recognition she deserves like

other forgotten dollhouse artists and later than many of them were recognized during their time and quickly ends 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 powerhouse women are now being celebrated in new books like easy. the wife of the us contributed to the interior design of the directors house of death she was a new kind of woman the perfect heroine for a novel. in an annoying 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 couldn't. these young wild free spirited and strong pioneers dared to take on a new role. 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 the whole self concept of women working outside the home was one that had to be learned. maybe that's what made it easier so of ennius and revolutionary. she modernized household economics to save the women of the future time which they could then devote to that professional activities. suitable. for years christiane along a has been conducting research on another modernist career woman league she was already a key figure in the art scene when she became a ball house master and head of the school's interior design workshop in one nine hundred thirty two. when her partner architect miss fond of war built this house in berlin she designed the furniture. really high is also worked

with him on the villa in case no trace of her work remains why has that. during my research i realized it simply couldn't. because she was female nowadays we might call any high she's superwoman hall and she was incredibly well organized communicative and very assertive even with men stuck out the fact that she's been forgotten for this can be attributed solely to me. but also to the male dominated writing of history that was looking for classic heroes he warns of. heroes like responded whore who designed the german pavilion for the nine hundred twenty nine international exposition in barcelona together with the. fact sheet was the pavilions artistic director and it's doubtful whether he's found out what designed its furniture on his own. soul 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. is interest is published under her name in one thousand nine hundred thirty tunes of the site and the only 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 before such 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 still relatively unknown. he's a 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 billy cottage was a great designer and far ahead of a toy but starting in one nine hundred thirty three when the nazis came to power

heist wasn't so choosy about who she worked for she wasn't the only one and. when the nazis took over nine hundred thirty three they closed down the barrel house by. and controversially some leading bell houselights continue they would under hitler. to each his own i'm a cop sign at the nazi concentration camp and who can part. created by inmate and former boss pupil fonda elish 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 setting up in the official propaganda they rejected the bow has entirely it was considered to be bolshevist jewish marxist and everything the nazis deemed negative in banking was not an oddity this must stop but an officially that stance wasn't as clear the nazi

saw the typical bile house functionality as a sign of progress and welcomed its new objectivity. and the artists how did the often guard of the bauhaus respond after nine hundred thirty three. to take her about bio one of the most influential boss teachers he created graphic design on the universal typeface which became signatures of the ball house. but starting in one nine hundred thirty three by a began to create nazi propaganda designing catalogues and exhibitions which celebrated the ideology of racist doctrines of the third riteish. a movie soon there were a film about house pupils and teaches who remained and too eager to continue receiving commissions in germany ones who then exhibited little of the bow houses reformist spirit and ethical principles to some corn said some. nice find out hole was no exception in one thousand nine hundred thirty four he joined gobos 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. united states in one nine hundred thirty eight there he designed iconic structures like the seagram building in new york. miss fonda what became a star architect is pandering to the nazis was soon forgotten and hasn't tarnished the baja struck a titian to this day still there's little reason to place the bauhaus on a moral pedestal. some of the vile house teachers and 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 alliston and brought those ideas with him to death sound later he returned to the middle east and built a legendary white city in tel aviv and

a pioneering university in nigeria. a family of one lowell university in a family in the southwest of nigeria. nary a share on his university campus is an open and airy. thénard to the hot climate and they are ruber culture when he taken to the university became the symbol of the fledgling democracy can he discovers is very important. because it was. initiated exactly maybe sixty the movement of independence of nigeria from the british. rule. so basically for them it's the first action in a jury and university and it stands for a protest against the picture back then modernism was progressive and today three f. rat aims to find out in his film moving away. i

want you to. be. remember see it so please prove. this it is there are far worse than far for people interested to be talked to these are scrum posts. these lurkers sir cried spritz around two hundred kilometers to the south is lagos. nigeria is largest city is constantly changing. like the representatives of contemporary bauhaus. 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 kamen in the as of any post colonialism and the architects that came of the day will modernise and

not the architecture that has really formed the structure of the city of lagos on the early modernism of the forty's fifty's and sixty's still today influential dr satcher lagos is expanding out of breath taking pace it's an african second largest city under one of the world's most densely populated somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects are creating their own design language. what was considered as african tenets of the within the rule and got a lot less say we need to be realistic and design more appropriately for the city that we live in now 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. is an ultra modern and district of lagos he is 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 astounded 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. 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 does back at the university campus in. its buildings were constructed in the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's open on all sides they function like energy efficient safe houses and coolum sounds every inch of space is used efficiently architect ariel sharon employed ideas he'd learned during his studies about how school in debt his

architecture is tailored to the people and the surroundings the topography natural light and climate. this is not more than often said joel just repeat this is more true of how well your old farmhouse already know this is more than old think about those kids dressed up this. group to. show you this design is part of bauhaus imagining a research project and exhibition that celebrates the battle house school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trance 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 through very intelligent architecture work sharon act of the sky was learned from his teacher in the bowels

of the smarter is exactly this very serious almost difficult approach. private of course would also use. their house as naively open and global social dialogue that's what by has imagining. the project is a collaboration between the great institute the bell has corporation. and the balance house to. escape i've been the focus of the project is why was the bauhaus adopted or 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. about house artist's vision of a better world is just as attractive now as it was this century.

that was old from twenty one for today but we have much more to come in this and ten or a year stories to tell me to dispel discoveries to make and celebrations to attend . the event.
