into the the secret of the cross. i'm not laughing at the germans well i guess sometimes i am but mostly i'm nothing with the budget and i think deep into the german culture. you don't seem to get from this drama they owe to you because it's all out there you know i'm rachel join me i mean the germans on the gulf coast. this year at bal house one of the world's most influential art and design schools turns a hundred and the seven tendering 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 fascination women. discover a forgotten found house works and tracked down traces of bone house in africa. what remains of the spirit of bow house today and how did it all start. design classics which are simple pure and functional designed by barfs a small art school which revolutionized the industry hundred years ago house dispensed of unnecessary fruits with its radical vision volta gropius wanted to rethink architecture in the arts with artists such as best we can do. at luna on finding a he found of the state house in weimar nine hundred nineteen. their arts college soon became an avant garde. in their workshops we experimented with materials and form. 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 for weimar by nine hundred twenty five it was all over they were too adventurous for their home city. they ventured on a desert and industrial city that welcomed the bow 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 equip a doll house artists with furniture from their own workshops. director of logic old b.s. shape the city with the ball house movement the turret 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 karl feeders riverside cafe on the album. from one thousand nine hundred twenty eight its new director harness maya made the bow house even more political and radical his houses were an attempt to make social classes based on need and not luxury. funding ended when the nazis came to power and the bow house close in one nine hundred thirty to one last privately funded attempt came from its fund a hole in the berlin but it failed in one nine hundred thirty three the boss had shut down. does bauhaus history

have its ideas from the course hardly in these times of up people people are rediscovering its visionary potential how was about house continuing to inspire today we visit weimar where again. 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 but the other fly swatters. which can also applaud for the ball house. was also thank 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 our house. 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 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 focused 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. by. such a sense of community hasn't always been a given in one thousand 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 ban house tradition but rather to act as a forum for discussion. aesthetic and social questions are even death again view through the mirror 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 found house style by maya has long been a place of experimentation. assume self said that before tackling the design of objects you basically have to put people in new clothing particularly during that period in the nineteenth ten's and. twenty's there was a lot of talk about the new human but everybody meant something different by about house 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 evoked both nightmares and fascination no one could escape it. in the boat house stage. transformed dunces into mechanical figures the triadic ballet is famous for its cost james. painting and stage performance intertwine.

always had this 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 for them until a change of venue the getting i can hi i'm also has a permit chamberlain the exhibition is called from the lamp to the studio media artist him book 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 washing machine that's good and 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 with and then my name is a home 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 because for the from now of told the distillers on. 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 just having. 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 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 the beginning i'm gonna have. to get money i can hi i'm providing space to research new technologies

in an artistic way think laterally and ask questions this is where the bauhaus live song. about house created a number of modernist pioneers among them the three thousand house direct is gropius hannah smile and nice fun to roll her but was the powerhouse just a boys' club that's a myth there are also some outstanding women. well these women left was a kind of professional representation. by not standards for three. of 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 followers of these women more religious covered 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 bar house were writer editor and powerhouse first lady. furniture designer and paul house master lee fight. 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 alberts began studying at the powerhouse in one thousand nine hundred 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 coldplay. her work is now being rediscovered in europe. and death and they really are one of a kind places you can instantly tell that here on the album has created something extremely special. that's 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 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 about 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 text 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 with. after the nazi 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 any of us is finally getting the recognition she deserves like other forgotten dollhouse artists and. 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. but these forgotten vile house women are now being celebrated in new books like easy. the wife of the us contributed to the interior design of 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 it was a feeling of freedom that they could do anything i was moved to hear. 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 fact 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 eason so of ennius and revolutionary. she modernized household economics to save the women of the future time which they could then devote to that own professional activities. 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 she also worked with him on the villa also in clay could get no trace of her work remains why is that. during my research i realized it simply couldn't. because she was female nowadays we might call any high she's superwoman who she was incredibly well organized communicative and very assertive even with men yet those that still stuck out the fact that she's been forgotten can be attributed solely to me. but also to the male dominated writing of history that was looking for classic heroes who 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 the league in fact she was the pavilions artistic director and it's doubtful whether mr vandeleur designed furniture on his own. so who really created this design

classic. and close on top is 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 table at 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 falklands 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. he's a copious is now a novel heroine but in real life she was an editor organizer and equal partner for the bell house founder. and clearly advice the few surviving documents show that milly ghosh was

a great designer and far ahead of a time but starting in one nine hundred thirty three when the nazis came to power how she wasn't so choosy about who she worked for that she wasn't the only one. when the nazis took over nine hundred thirty three they closed down the bow house by. and controversially some leading bell houseless continue their would under hitler. to each his own i'm a cop saw him at the nazi concentration camp and who compiled. created by inmate and former boss pupil fonda elish it uses the unmistakable dollhouse typeface despite the fact that the nazi regime denounced the school for its degenerate art and even pressured its leadership into closing the powerhouse in berlin often setting up in the official propaganda they rejected the bow house entirely it was considered to be bolshevist jewish must system everything the nazis deemed negative

in banking is not an auditing isthmus. 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 is 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 and racist doctrines of the third riteish. a t.v. soon there were a film about how people in teaches who remained and were eager to continue receiving commissions in germany ones who then exhibited little of the bow houses

reformist spirits and ethical principles to some coincidence. nice fund a whole 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 became a star architect his pandering to the nazis was soon forgotten and hasn't tarnished the baja speculation to this day still there's little reason to place the bauhaus on a moral pedestal. some of the val 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 experienced life on a kibbutz and palestine 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. femi university in the family in the southwest of nigeria. area share on the university campus is an open and airy. to the hot climate and they are ruber culture when it comes to university became the symbols of the fledgling democracy really quickly discovered as a very important for the jury a foot in the jews 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 it. was. to . be a. remember see it so please prove. this it is there are far worse than far more people interested to be talked to these are crumples. these lurkers sir cried spritzed around two hundred kilometers to the south is lagos. nigeria is not just city is constantly changing. like other representatives of contemporary bauhaus has been 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 years of any post colonialism that 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 at a breathtaking pace it's africa's second largest city and one of the world's most densely populated somewhere between colonialism and modernism nigerian architects are creating that own design language. what was considered as african tenets of the within the rule and not necessarily 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 ultramodern and district of lagos he

is the architect of 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. in the 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 passive houses

and coolum selves every inch of space is used efficiently architect ariel sharon employed ideas he'd learned during his studies about how schooling desk his architecture is tailored to the people and the surroundings the topography natural light and climate. this is not more than often said sure the up you could still go to a pod well the old farmhouse already know this is rather an old thing to about will get breast up to. not go through june i show you this design is part of bauhaus imagine easter a research project and exhibition that celebrates the bauhaus school its legacy and its capacity for promoting trans cultural exchange the campus is seen as an architectural milestone as. the buildings were kept as they were built and just to function. quite well and of course this is thanks through very intelligent

architecture work sharon act of the sky was from his teacher the bows and the smarter is exactly this very serious almost difficult brooch. the crime of course would also be shoes. now house as naively open and global social dialogue that's what about house imagine easter is all about the project is a collaboration between the good institute the bell has cooperation. 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 reinterpreted by and we discovered that it was about creating a blueprint for a new society and a new relationship between art and society. the artists vision of
