rachel stewart's 1st. the bauhaus movement was the most influential school of design in the 20th century brought together. and designed with the idea of an integrated approach where full follows function it was originally conceived 100 years ago by the architect. as an experiment in education but it ended up having a huge influence on modern design even to this day now in this anniversary year a brand new bauhaus museum has just opened in germany. i don't queue which is not just there to liven up the desk downtown center it's designed to provide a bridge between the city and its powerhouse architecture. it was created by the spanish architects office at the end it stringent functionality only becomes apparent on the inside to pylons at the front and back at our 50 meter bridge

without further supports. the 1500 square meters of museum space foam below there is plenty of room for a range of activities. for example this mobo color don't work by lucy raven it alludes to the color investigations carried out by bauhaus pioneers and to the transparency of powerhouse architecture. the work of art arena by rita mcbride has also found a place in the museum. up stirrers is the deaths how about house collection the museum does not limit itself to the ballet house years but illuminates biographies that outlived the school itself the emphasis is on powerhouse as a place of experiment where things could be tried out.

as one that concept concept for the exhibition doesn't concentrate on the masters and their design i can see but primarily on student works so he you can see how things were created where the process is and who collaborated. by. using pairs of artists and illustrations the exhibition tells the story of teaching that's low more knowledge and bearing on the brand whose metal vessels are in create demand today. the 2 artists are highlighted here. as lunch. this is a rare replica of the home carrying artists like. it was all about the senses and the elements painting with like touch how does humans feel and what could a new human look like here figures by oscar sram a half man half machine and only statement of the problem of artificial

intelligence with its focus on teaching the exhibition wants to show that bio house is still relevant today. indeed it is my colleague margaret kruger joins me now now looks very nice museum lots of biohazards designs but it's also got contemporary modern art that was. bad because ours was all always about moving forward never standing still and at the bow school that was all about experimenting and thinking things new. so and when we look at the architecture they're in debt so . still fresh the business for example. see them the right now. still fresh and more than the same is the settlement in the town it's not all social at all and even the old job sense of from the late twenty's small frankly a lot and then all the building from today it does it does look as though it could

be built last year did not know about this is funded founded in volume which we associate with cultural greats like gutter and shell. but why is the museum and. because the boat was experienced in death so it's absolute day it was based on by mail for just 6 years and then the government decided to reduce the funding for the bow school and the members. of the politician that was just a crazy wild colorful and that's our goal the 1st direct opponent in by a much school bought something managed to bring some of the greatest artists together. paul klee on the on the finding it here they created and hearing ideas not only from design graphics but also experimental downs. like the tree yeah this is by let he always see it because he can also see the language forms in decile it was just possible to continue this successful and

innovative fork and briefly when they got real problems a bit later in 101st when the nasa was going to power yes that the nazis fulls to close the school and the members of the teaches had to find just they always so they moved to lots of countries in the world and it was just an inspiration and it's ok it's clear is now i mean you could walk down the streets anywhere and still find it yes ok micah thanks very much for joining us the time is all about buying a house which is sort of right its 100th anniversary this year now it's time for meet the germans where all reporter rachel stewart investigates the traits and idiosyncrasies of germans anyone who wants to have a german passport has to take a citizenship test and having done so myself i should just say that rachel's version coming up is not quite the real citizenship test
