you're watching the news live from berlin coming up next marking 100 years of germany's about house and how the movement changed art architecture and design that's on our documentary the code in the meantime all the latest news and information available 247 on our website that's t w dot com called aspen terry martin is up next thanks walking. to. the adventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. to city racial politics on the front of the world's 250th birthday we're in barging on a voyage of discovery. expedition voyage on g.w. .

you know what if holistic aesthetic that. free thinking. honest revolutionary values critical fast. sherman that as our house. after 100 years the ideals of the bar are more relevant today than they were than the horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future and of its who constantly then how will we learn. to give house back the bell house influence is everywhere guns to our house set out to formulate a language of design that was universal that serves as a listing that everything has an ideal high it's an ideal size and that's what optimize is its utility but not you know they want this kind of push to go wherever

your procmail of your design and we were you're an artist. bell house is a legend the brilliance of the bauhaus school remains undiminished even today. even though its existence was short lived it continues to shape the world we live in. new approaches to education and training architecture painting down and design were explored and developed here. when hitler seized power and forced the school to shut down its artists architects and visionaries emigrated fanning out and spreading the bauhaus doctrine around the world. so what exactly is behind the engineering appeal of bounce.

a british furniture designer with nigerian rates in norway lives in london his fascination with chad has places him firmly in the balance house tradition he trolls the city in search of inspiration. i'm always on the box on the topic of the boss by the window in london or always it is always chairs everywhere you know your mom because they're so much but you're there well i don't know yet so i'm just always looking around always you know inquisitive to kind of see what's around you know and i'm one pointer you never know you have enough that that's the beauty of why do. you think he doesn't find anything that strikes his fancy on the street. so he tries his luck in a charity shop. just because most of them were. for quite

cool. you know the 1st person to see him which are. and then 2nd would because of having the power ball in my head so having the narrative of the chair this year i just chose the field life in the forty's fifty's 3 years and it's not it's not so it's not it's not clear it's the theme through fifty's sixty's life. here is drawn to pieces that have a story to tell he likes to work in she was simply. so a lot of pieces with cards or so this is this is. them you know kind of also you know the word it could have used different materials of the female so i was in college pilots for that sort speaks because there is a look at the kind of sections of the kind of the globe. in the jungles maybe in

the walls that could be aligned in. maybe this could be green just one sprinkler the contours of where i would see in movies you know these these these would line. and also this cover might be with the musical instrument look at your thoughts or other month. into which of design that was a bedrock principle of the bowels. of the art school environment germany was founded in 1919 by an architect invited to call p.s. he was joined there by many of the most venerated artists of the time. and after the ordeal of the 1st world war they were eager to remake the world from the ground up. this called for a new breed of industrial design a gropius believed a new forms of training a foundation course was compulsory for all students. it taught basic techniques of mass and craftsmanship. and it was developed by swiss painter your highness it can

encourage students to work in she would cheerfully and experiment with forms colors and materials. the characteristic colors and forms of the bauhaus influenced artists such as powell clay and vasili kandinsky. the primary colors red yellow and blue and the geometrical forms of the square triangle and circle have become the trademark of the bow house. there's an abundance of form and color in linking a lorry studio in london. west

but it's put this on the furniture university so after the green for image making and product design you kind of teach your so a lot of the process is as you go along and it was no vertical so lots of history looking up by the cannot is true of design of graffiti there was a lot of making. carpentry set design and ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the bow house school which has been right up link to st chad's tells part of his story. actually understood why my parents love to nigeria and what it meant to be african and be a black british you know in london and how powerful it was and how you know that i i feel like a power because you know everyone is is margin is british so what i want to do was read so my narrative and use in the anteroom parables. in these sort of thing there

was an interest through year we found out the converse of if it was actually designed but it was israel not its that it was a study that. by how school and i think it for me is for the best stuff sort of scene actually because it was just mind blowing and just see i would just just not knowing that existed in nigeria i think even just think about race me smalley's me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of north east for images people are just as they are ringback ringback. the university of in fact campus in nigeria was designed in the 1960 s. bell house when she went around. africa in spades and been shaped by. bauhaus for sure if i look at this chair completely he looks like an african. to me influences from africa in this p.c. this is indeed the african chair a collaborative effort by to bow house masters design

a marcel broyard and textile artists good tested so. you could score that could share it this year i mean without even knowing. a lot of most oprah's role and i think i will copy in one of this 3 must do to others copy it could be really you know as i see it you know i put it in a charity shop. in chick. who just i mean a lot this was the soup of her more than 60 years millions were just kind of. this is really nice this is a ridiculous sign. it was in 1925 once the school relocated to death south that bauhaus started to become more widely know. from his glass fronted office overlooked the school premises. nothing escaped him including all the student goings on in the

workshop next door. the students are now long gone today cloudy of heaven is the director of the powerhouse decile foundation. to buy a house was pretty crazy it has to be said when you look at the bar house building you can see how radical it was. and then there were all these girls with short hair working together with boys all very casual it was quite a provocation. it didn't get us passions or paul qatif. the bow house or to create an impression of transparency ery radiance space. for gore because. gropius was very aware that a new era had dawned and that a new era called for new forms and new solutions for living on. this.

on he saw this reflected in every aspect of industry but not really an architecture to have had ethernet hitech to or not. is in. the new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters houses back to the o.p.'s designed these homes for the balance teachers and their families construction began in 1925. the homes of the tickle p.s. and laszlo mccoy notch were destroyed in the 2nd world war in tucson. in foreseeing they were rebuilt but not so much reconstructed as real integrity it's. not just or laugh nicole i designed the interior of the moho a notch house. while in office as an artist noir knowledge was very interested in

light so i made light a central part of my design and figured out a way to make it an element of his visitor's experience and one way to draw attention to light is to refract it probably do it this pressure. it will be affected by made the surface of the artifact the building my playing field. kept anybody i wanted to work with what was already that i also wanted to bring out the craftsmanship that played such a key role at about house so between the clustering was as a very simple artisanal activity so i decided on 4 types of plaster white powder marble with various grain sizes. with variations in granularity and the way that light strikes the walls create shadow plays doctors shopping schweder. those holes

in the houses crying out to be photographed. skipped there is no one about grouse it was very diverse and there was a bit of everything but it had clearly it had oscar schlemmer meyer who had a staunchly socialist agenda. moves around the whole world who wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for the people of this world of those good people who introduced compulsory yoga classes your what's truly fascinating is of course what happens when a design movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life force one of the. in japan quality design traditionally plays a big part in daily life the aesthetic sensibility and the striving for clarity and simplicity underpinning japanese culture have much in common with the visual language of bauhaus and indeed partly inspired it. i went to

tokyo is one of the world's knowledge is metropolitan areas housing is expensive and in short supply. the osun am a belongs to a young generation of japanese architects interested in new housing concepts. you can never see in 5 days and also. they closed or read a show isolated situation they never invite the people friends or even come in they don't know it next to each other and think. oh is seeking an entirely new approach 2. ok i have to change my mind are there they go to read the city asking

a friend they are living in tokyo so i propose a. completely different way from no mother one room apartment in told you. the highlights the family's housing solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can they hire she's wife before the couple got married. 'd the house was very small studio terror. of trying to use the meter everything path toward it show or to change the room everything was not separate so she was living as others are for those people do. she she likes cooking and there. you want to read out. to watch t.v. so that she can do that so when we find this one we have about 20 places to do that but it's too big for her alone so maybe we will have to do some shows.

ringback towns for people who aren't necessarily old family and who are willing to redefine their relationships to one another 2. maybe i was converting the old house into a house with 7 people a home like this would be an affordable for a family it's my no realisation of going away and so to change your ways you. can land and people doesn't have a lot of job so not people doesn't like in no way as i was there and you know that and they need to do something. meticulous measurements so as to use the space as efficiently as possible. the small bedrooms on the upper floors separated by a night and every hallway. a bridge between the private and the shared spaces.

using their steps they could see here but things so that they. individually i'm 6 in. the rooms the small while the shared areas are spacious the multipurpose living room is where residents and friends can come together in a city that's becoming increasingly anonymous the house is a small pocket of community. meo and her husband run a successful architecture firm. and she's a big fan of german bauhaus. most in this. arc deck from my eyes thanks to them. it's my. problem. he makes it very simple and the looks

very but it's not and that is they go with a sense of place as outside the room in the room and the foreign minister to relate it all together and this is kind of. bauhaus had close ties to japan from the outset this house was built in the 1930 s. by you well yeah my walky who studied at the bell house school. in 1954 voted called p.s. visited the brand new coup was our design school in tokyo writing in the guest book here i have found genuine bauhaus spirit. in our work meo often refers to this weighty manual compiled by announced noise another bauhaus graduates.

the 1st edition of his architect's data is in by ma the current edition of this international bestseller was updated by an architect your highness kister. as soon as you start planning a new project you reach for your norfork it's currently in its 42nd edition and it's published all over the world it. it. it's a reference but for special requirements in building design and site planning from the best height for a door handle to the angle of a body leaning back in a chat to compile these norms noise that carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. the for mr and his mission is the problem wasn't the 1st to measure daily life. but the radical approach of

relating architectures space and spatial relationships to such measurements and the radical extrapolation of space allocation and type biology from these relationships that was the cornerstone of us and that's what they're supposed to. the book was finally published 3 years after the bow house was shut down by the nazis but the efficiency of noise that's manual suited the totalitarian system and the nazis co-opted it for their own purposes. after the war when its merits could once again speak for themselves it became a bestseller. nowadays noisettes manual can be found in architecture firms all over the world. but. what space is needed for an elevator based you need in a kitchen and industrial kitchen canteen. what size should something be to work

well in its environment. it's just so useful because when we want to know like example of this sort of thing. if you flip this call we can find very basic measurement no letter we have to know but that we can't put everything into my brain so it's a part of our way. of measuring people activities things rationality and detail as tools for optimizing daily life and use of space clay marks of the bow housecoat that carry just far is japan. the bounce house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found.

himself. director on the matter yet he is the guardian of his legacy one boy to nish to climb climb 112 it wasn't the ordinary old school craft person training does. i the name was to train a new type of artist. the industrial designer who could wear all hats. list a generalist tech who could be an architect or a typo grapher or a painter a sculptor a photographer. i am an industrial designer who represented the universal. through our only real seller shot and the manifesto of the weimar state our house was published in april 919 architects sculptors painters we must all turn to the crafts together let us can see even create the new building of the future. that what they've wanted to avoid was

a drifting apart art on one side art for art's sake salon art sound on the other side the more downmarket applied art that is craft. the 100. the bow house code blurred the distinction between fine art and applied arts. then and now the starting point is always the material of the affair that is about 25 percent each of feldspar and courts and 50 percent carol one mazing how this dust can turn into something with so much ball look. author wasn't somehow elastic to imagine it being poor molded its texture is so great that the. guns tell you how hollow. beilin based design collective new tendency is in demand the team of graduates of the bauhaus university environment.

they design industrial products for everyday use in the house tradition functional and no frills. the firm is teaming up with one of germany's oldest manufacturing companies the royal porcelain factory k.p.n. is supplied oppression kings with porcelain. and why do we mainly manufacture in germany. on the one hand because of the tradition of craftsmanship but also because of the convenience the fact that we can visit the factories for things that's very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved in broadens our minds. off.

the cake pms porcelain is all hand crafted. ceramicist at the ballot house environment began designing simple martin porcelain table laugh with a k pm in 1929. the new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of brown house by collaborating with the k.p.n. on a commemorative plate. with their mum as soon as you start it's already gone you can see how fast it's turning it's a question of seconds. today the team representing their ideas to the cape p.m.'s head. design now i'm going to say. when i look at it from the front there's a lovely play of light and shadow. uses the industrial and constructive a suspect is a great contrast to the delicate pulse and we find that contrasts very intriguing and strong.

reminds me of bauhaus photography the light in shadow on the negative space. we explore these elements with our designs to start off into. new tendency designs practical high quality products that are not interested in mass production. but they're kind of craftsmanship has a price one that not everyone can afford business though is thriving. and we're completely international we get a lot of inquiries from the u.s. and england but also south korea and japan from people with a similar sense of aesthetics lloyd convincing. in keeping with the baldauf spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision.

and essential part of the bauhaus appeal is that goal thius was keen on the idea of synergy. vision that's become reality than dreams between creative disciplines are increasingly clerks. and 1st i need a vacuum. the material softens and starts to melt it melts very fast and then it gets smooth. finished.

the results around expected this cache koolhaas career conducting research for the car industry. no she's preparing for her graduation show she studies fashion design and then. saw my most basic idea was to see if i could produce a collection without actually sewing anything and instead use different production methods. so i worked a lot with lasers and glue to explore the alternatives to see how i could make clothes production no modern fun these men i wanted to replace man made with machine made machine made. this economy i asked the architect why i have a background in architecture and perhaps that's why i tend to focus more on production methods used in industry and industrial design and. very

ideological principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st but once of the standardize ation the idea that everything has an ideal height and ideal size in order to optimize its utility so if we didn't mention that it has been not infinite i'm really intrigued by the idea that rather than simply buying an item of clothing that you could buy cat or computer aided design days yet you get your data go to. workstation and the machine makes the clothes for you and the caddo this design is based on motorbike trounces made from an upholstery fabric commonly used in the car industry but isn't there such a thing as excessive optimization as fuck it's here and just as i once had to apply and overcomplicated process of suppose that optimization to clothing. as it seems

a humorous comment on this trend it's not meant to be taken seriously and really the big event the catwalk show in the evening. last minute get full sorry never to pull. will the trousers fit but i could. get the. goodies off the grid yeah i guess that it would be nice just long. to spend just that. because i have to wait there taking a 1st look i feel. like

is it your turn. then go cash his collection is about to make its debut. after months of hard graduation in her pockets she can finally relax and enjoy the moment. fashion design that straddles architecture and technology analog and digital. across

a disciplinary approach is quintessentially bounce house. there. are no guns forks one of the main reasons for the success of our house was that the movement was brave enough to bring together very different creative minds when you take a look at who target there they don't seem to have anything in common creatively and they were very different characters and for sheena to correct here or not i think there gropius realized that although diversity could produce answers to the questions raised by the new era of these annoying side. this architectural icon in spain is a perfect distillation of that collaborative spirit the reconstructed barcelona pavilion originally designed for the 1929 international exposition by me stand there who are the surge director of the bauhaus school the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair

with co designed by miss founder and powerhouse master. the creative scope of the bauhaus school was a unique a printing and advertising workshop opened in desks out in 1925. the workshops head was how about buyer who designed the new type faces that would help define the bell house style he was a pioneer of what we now call corporate design. when among the capital of jordan decided it needed its own branding it hired graphic design a young gal who specializes in type faces. it was a pretty daunting task. first came to amman in 2004 as. a young student and then i came back in 2008 to develop

a typeface for a month an arabic and latin type design for the greater amman municipality that's about it it was my graphic design graduation project at the university environment sitting by my. son is one of the 1st type faces that bridges the gap between western and arab farms designed by about house graduates geologist subhumans cos i'm sure it's here but these days you'll see a man typeface on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material but. i was very fortunate to be able to help me find the urban landscape which to give visual identity of the city just as a this is where national spirit just left. the middle east insisting is also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little heat no way and more often than not so much what. whereas the amount of

funds on this cultural center is impossible to overlook. the farmers the supplemental you can always happy to see it in such a prominent position in the city was rebranding itself but the result is a disaster will feel. that go with it i promise you paintings of my time designer soul and wasn't supposed to be like this is the equivalent of taking a painting or a photo and then stretching it it's really distorted that's how they want this what's out. that's what that's is not fun i mention not everyone was thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this drop. in the summer and so in the arab world the main how the sort of typeface designer of beirut and cairo. among those are very young city it's only a 100 years old and the field just doesn't exist here so to prophesy. that's it anyway designing the font was my own idea is

a shift. does the finger to me this is a lovely use of i'm on time an arab spring in bold. to. visit known quantities about the need to start on the rough edges i built into the design were inspired by a certain atmosphere in the city. and it gave us an aggressor oh. it is a kind of rawness. of polish that i want to be fun to express. that there are lots of people here do apparently agree that the front captures the mood of their city. the bow housecoat philosophy developed at a small german art school and adopted across the world. a manual for structuring daily life based on principles of architecture and design an

interdisciplinary school with radical new teaching methods that fostered freedom and experimentation a school that pioneered the fusion of fine art and craft. after years of extraordinary creativity the bow house had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis once a die on the rise across 933 was the end of the road the bow house was founded environment as a state subsidized school that's why it was called the weimar state house holds water just how it was a municipal institution and a member lin it was a private institution financed primarily out of mis funds are always on pocket. so it's a song for. those forced to close its breakup help to evolve into a global movement 1st. fire fun fun times and i'm not some from the outset the bell

house was very international thanks to its international connections it wasn't all that hard for the bar hauser's to disperse around the world after the school's closure of a tie and. the bell house movement also left its mark in television live. between 920 and 940 some 4000 buildings built in the modern style were erected in the city center. in 2003 the white city was made to unesco world cultural heritage sites. the white city was naturally the work of architects who had studied with back to call b.s. . and other european architects. in the 1930 s. many jews fled growing anti-semitism in europe and emigrated to palestine there

they contributed to the making of a new society these days many of the buildings of fallen into disrepair the paint is peeling and the facades crumbling. however the unesco world cultural heritage status has helped raise awareness of these buildings historic value. the max leaving house built in 1986 is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. israeli german architecture iran iran is program director of the white city center she is well aware what a treasure it is. you want to show us the let's see what

original features from germany we have here ashby look at this this is the handle when we dismantled the door handles and cleaned them up we saw that they had stamps from the company ducky e.h. a.g.d. says and you can just about see that we did some research and found out that they really were made by the company that manufactured the gropius handles so for the bauhaus that the company was called loewy there are all sorts of treasures like that here you know where. this is the center of it's a resort it's interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. even being we say can't for cantor or edge come to come to with the book and kind of circle for a song called a bass cross put some shine put scratched stone plaster we say she wished the

german word for planes and it's funny listening to jewish and arab construction workers on the building site they're like hey moshe kratz puts it goes to show how much expertise was brought here in the 1930 s. not just materials but skills newer dimity any kids in an artist. around is meeting up with should have the today show who gives tours of the white city she's an expert on the architects who gave televisa eve its distinctive look. if you'll see said go because i've been going with this angle is in that that building is the statue that people walk in balance my arm out says the ticket office will. get the get it lots of and yes and. that's if they're not so important but we have to fix stuff. behavior of the hands
