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 is here until the view and powerhouse furnishings are now designed classics. this folding chair was designed in one thousand nine hundred twenty seven and those in the know recognize it as a classic by the boy and 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 bauhaus the german furniture maker is giving these

12:34 am
move in the noise. christiane the pressure 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. 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 these are more than regular piece in the on a trolley movie they're not just ordinary sofas and chairs cause they're furnishings with spirit and somehow they transport and exude that. craftspeople and designers work together in the tech to workshops in the town of lower saxony. it's a work process that was also practiced by powerhouse founder. basic
12:35 am
idea of reuniting art with technology art 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. designer cutting dryly tackled f.f.t. one valter gopi assist director's chair. the are all sort of about the challenge was how much or how little can i do to this chair so that it remains true to vote. but at the same time is recognisable 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 it's nice amazing to look at
12:36 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 made back then in an ordinary house. in them and their minds holes. in this one hundredth anniversary year of its founding about house designs still have the power to inspire. jennifer but off months 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 of bauhaus classics is more than just a recurring trend. in movement not its furniture is timeless you know it as were
12:37 am
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 that think she will. weather bow house or now house whether from one nine hundred nineteen or twenty nineteen these pieces of furniture only reveal their true age at second glance. in 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 new south tower in norway is the world's tallest wooden high rise and because skyscrapers anomaly birth with concrete and steel and this friend here tim a construction is an architectural might style. the wooden high rise on the shore of lake muir in norway's valley has eighteen stories and a speedy five and
12:38 am
a half meters high 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 in good complicated buildings and also the 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. of life but that we can as an apartment on the fifteenth floor.
12:39 am
be thoroughly enjoys being surrounded by wood. like this i feel good you can smell them all the you see makes. doing something with you so i think it's more like me. right so you feel the living actually with you. it took years of pioneering work to make the wooden tower impermeable to wind and weather. it was designed by detect and move a company specialized in temperate 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 long nights to try to figure out how can we do this the biggest problem. of the material so all the force of the external force as
12:40 am
they will try to tilt the building or shift. the load bearing called had to be something deeper into the ground than usual fireproofing was never a major issue the thick wooden beams can withstand the blades even longer than steal another factor behind the trend in building with timber. this eighty four meter building under construction in vienna is also made out of what for dog friends is building an entire development with eco friendly material and architects in london are planning a three hundred metre tower made of oak. 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 now every building who can use that. wooden high rise also offers
12:41 am
a hotel and conference rooms. the hunger you go in your settle for 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 storms 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 hear something and that's normal and this is good. so far wouldn't highrises remain the exception but then you're so tower was a good example of what apartment buildings could look like in the years to come.
12:42 am
and with that. this plastic bottle has served its purpose now it's trash every year more than three hundred million tonnes of plastic and up on the gulf of sheep that some people are looking for ways to encourage us to reduce this problem one project by greek architect and three d. 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 seeding elements and the greek port city of thessaloniki are part of a project called print your city. plastic waste is called the furniture from a three d. printer. the idea came from the dutch design studio the new rock. us from greece as one of the projects founders the plastic is
12:43 am
a mis understood material which is it's not the material that's the problem to go to but how we use it all packaging for example yeah but i did my schematic 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. is the guy who 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 if they were sitting in their own living robes. this is the feeling we'd like to put across these and bring private living space into public spaces and the fundamental emotional core to. 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 try to save the earth and i was so happy when i
12:44 am
was walking through town one day and saw that a bench i had designed had been printed and then it's there for everyone to get 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 he 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 its resources year by year. takes about seventy kilos of plastic and ten hours to make apart from a three d. printer. the
12:45 am
colorful seeds have already been placed around thessaloniki center and more plants are eventually 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 ascetic in this way. everyone can enjoy it and said here with their friends it's a definite gain you people there's nothing negative about it people but. the printer city project was launched in cooperation with the city of salonika 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. i think it encourages
12:46 am
a new culture and approach to issues like recycling and zero waste production. among young people. and if the park benches ever fall apart they'll simply be recycled it's a good idea and a sustainable one. today's show you know max is focusing on and design. is studying architecture so you could say but already makes it a bit of an expert he says we live in a world that is great and drop and as a keen photographer he shows us how somebody can look. she just at a splash of color. gray reality becomes colorful urban fantasy geometric the suns are canvases for splashes of color. photographer and architecture student ice transforms the often plain structures into genuine i
12:47 am
catchers. so many buildings don't get seen because they've been simply painted grey like the rest of the city and so they almost disappear. fishman and. ice who comes from berlin found the many great grey cityscapes to dreary so in two thousand and fifteen he started shooting his colorful photo series now he's studying in linz austria where an old tobacco factory has become a favorite setting. and the industrial complex was built in the new objectivity style later famed as power house design in the early twentieth century it was a new approach to architecture. is fascinated by it. look at the details and the windows and what a clever solution this mechanism is how find the structure you find usually totally new back on it this is it's as if you installed a spaceship somewhere today and said this is the new architecture. i sees his
12:48 am
photos as a criticism of contemporary architecture. he says modern designs lack a spirit of experimentation and courageous ideas. on the industrial building and construction methods that were developed back then were implemented because they offered a way to build a log for a little money. concept of progress behind them didn't take hold. we have no innovations in architecture. 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
12:49 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. after he graduates hopes 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 holiday home there to get away from it all and enjoy french lifestyle in the early one nine hundred fifty s.
