you know what team if holistic if they think that. free thinking. honest the evolutionary value critical fast. german that is our house. after 100 years the ideals of the bar are more relevant today than they were than the spa horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future and that's who called the event how we learn we learn. about house back the bo house influence is everywhere guns to our house set out to formulate a language of design that was universal 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 in the way they want this kind of push to go out

from wherever your procmail are with your design in a world where we were you are an artist. bound 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 nice behind the engineering appeal of ballasts.

a british furniture designer with nigerian rates in norway lives in london his fascination with chavez places him firmly in the balance tradition he trolls the city in search of inspiration. once on the box on the top deck of the bus by the window in london or always it is always cheers everywhere you know your money because there are so much but you're there oh i don't know yet so i'm just always looking around always inquisitive to kind of see what's around you know and then one find so you never know you have enough but that's the beauty of what do. you think it doesn't find anything that strikes his fancy on the street. so he tries his luck in a charity shop. to solve most of those with. quite

cool. you know the 1st person to see him which are. and i'm 2nd with because of having the power ball in my head so having the narrative of the chair this chair i just chose it's the feel nothing 4053 chairs and it's not it's not it's not not exactly as was the theme through fifty's sixty's i. think there is drawn to pieces that have a story to tell he likes to work in she was simply. so a lot of pieces with character so this is this is go along with them you know kind of also you know the word it kind of use different materials so they're from have so i was in college pilots for that sort of speaks because there is a look at the trauma section so a kind of river. in the jungles maybe in the walls it could be lying in in the

woods maybe this could be green just one sprinkler the contours of where i would see in the bees you know these these these these line. and also this cover monthly with a musical instrument with a guitar and other money. into it if design that was a bedrock principle of the battle house. the art school environment germany was founded in 1919 by architect devide who called p.s. he was joined there by many of the most venerated artists of the time. 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 arts and crafts mention it. 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 bow house influenced artists such as paul clay and vassili kandinsky. the primary colors red yellow and blue and the geometrical forms of the square triangle and circle have become the trademark of the bauhaus. there's an abundance of form and color in the u.k. laurie studio in london.

most of these parties are the furniture university so over the green for image making and put up a sign you kind of teach your so a lot of the process is going on and it was more for school so lots of history. of the kind of history of design of graffiti there was a lot of making. carpentry set design and ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the balham that would have been right happening because st chad's tells part of his story. i shall just do it why my parents love to nigeria and what it meant to africa and be a black british you know in london and how powerful that was and how you know but i i feel like a power because you know everyone is piers morgan is british so what i want to do was retold my narrative using the anteroom parables. in these sort of thing there

was an interest to release and found out the universe of if it was actually sort of but it was israel not its eggs it was a study of the. by our school and i think for me it's for the best stuff sort of scene actually because it was just mind blowing and just seen a little distance just not knowing that i was actually existed in nigeria thing even just think about me smallish me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of north east for images people just fast they are. ringback ringback the university of campus in nigeria was designed in the 1960 s. by our house when she lets our readership around. africa in spades shaped and be shaped by ballet. house the chauffeur look at the chair completely 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 designer marcel broyard and textile

artist contest. the good school that could chair it this year i mean even knowing. a lot of marcel proust will and i think i'll copy in one of this 3 months to the others copy it could be really you know as i see it you know i put it in a charity shop. in chizik. who just only allowed this visual to super from more than 60 years the minister was going to. this is really nice this is a ridiculous sign. it was in 1925 once the school relocated to death that bow house started to become more widely know it. 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 deaths out 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 and. it didn't get us out of there paul qatif. the foul house all to create an impression of transparency and airy 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.

one he saw this reflected in every aspect of industry not really an architecture to have had ethernet hitech to work. the new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters house is to call b.s. designed these homes for the ballot house teachers and their families construction began in 1925. the homes of fighter copious and last low mccoy a notch were destroyed in the 2nd world war in tucson. as in foreseen they were rebuilt but not so much reconstructed as really integrity it's. not just or laugh nicole i designed the interior of the mahoney knowledge house.

while not as well 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 a visitor's experience and one way to draw attention to light is to refract it of at least the pressure. i 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 up the craftsmanship that played such a key role at about house so the tool that's lost during wars is a very simple artisanal activity so i decided on 4 types of plaster for white powder marble with various grain sizes. with variations in granularity and the way that light strikes the walls create shadow plays optician. those horses are in

the houses crying out to be photographed. it just baffles me there is no one about grouse it was very diverse and there was a bit of everything but it had claimed it had. hundreds maya who had a staunch lead socialist agenda. he wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for pure form of what it is as good will it have people who introduced compulsory yoga classes if your truly fascinating is of course what happens when a design movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life the 1st monday. 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 largest metropolitan areas housing is expensive and in short supply. i. mean osun am a belongs to a young generation of japanese architects interested in new housing concepts. you can never see inside of this and also. they closed the radiation isolated situation they never invite to be friends or even how many they don't know it that makes it to their i think. is seeking an entirely new approach 2. ok i have to change my mind out there how to read the city asking a different way of living in tokyo so i propose

a. completely different way from one room apartment in told you. the high had she 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. the house was very small studio to her twin towers of trace and everything packed show or huge chain room everything was not separate so she was a liver as you know others are people do but. she she likes cooking and. if you want to read out sing a song 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 read what to do some shows.

shared house 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 isn't the realisation of a good movie and so to change your ways you need to learn to blend and people doesn't have a local job so coming out people doesn't like in no way to lie as there go there and they need to do something. meticulous measurements so as to use the spaces efficiently as possible. the small bedrooms on the upper floor are separated by a light and airy hallway. a bridge between the private and the shed spaces.

using their steps they could be the same the only here but the things so that they . individually are rooms. 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 pockets of community. meo and her husband run a successful architecture firm. she's a big fan of german bauhaus. most. arc back from my eyes fixed and. it's much.

he makes it very simple and the looks very but it's not and the gates go with a sense of place outside the room in the room and the foreign minister to relay 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 bow house school. in 1954 voted all 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. 'd in the work meo often refers to this weighty manual compiled by noise fat 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 the north don't often additional soon as you start planning a new project you reach for your norfolk it's currently in its 42nd editions 100 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 chair. to compile these norms noise. that carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. differ this. wasn't the 1st measured. but the radical approach or of relating architecture

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. as far as. the book was finally published 3 years after the battle house was shot down by the nazis but the efficiency of fats 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 noise can be found in. over the world. what space is needed for an elevator. and.

what size should something be to work well in its environment. let's just say are right because i only. know like example of this. if you flip this we can find they have basic measurement knowledge or we have to know but we can't put everything into my brain so it sounds a part of our way. of measuring people activities things rationality and detail as tools for optimizing daily life and use of space play marks of the bauhaus code that carried as far as japan. the battle house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found to

call p.s. himself. director an ameri yogi is the guardian of his legacy nish klein klein 112 if it wasn't the ordinary old school crafts person training. the name was to train a new type of artist. the industrial designer who could wear all hats i'm going to list a generalist who could be an architect or a topol grapher or a painter a sculptor a photographer. in an industrial designer who represented the universal order they are through are the only real solution and the manifesto of the weimar state our house was published in april 19th 19 architects sculptors painters we must all turn to the crafts together let us can see even create the new building of the future for us mohnish view is that what they've wanted to avoid was

a drifting apart art on one side art for art's sake salon art and on the other side the more downmarket applied art that is craft. koons the this 100 hour call to. the bow house code blurred the distinction between fine arts and applied arts. then and now the starting point is always the material in the field is about 25 percent each of and courts and 50 percent carol. amazing 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. belin based design collective new tendency is in demand the team of graduates of the powerhouse university environment. they design

industrial products for everyday use in the powerhouse 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. . in supply and oppression kings with beilin 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 that's very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved and broadens our minds. off.

the k.p.s. porcelain is all hand crafted. insists that the bound house environment began designing simple modern porcelain tableware for the k. pm in 1929. the new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of by collaborating with the k pm on a commemorative plate in the world there and as soon as you start it's already gone you can see how fast it's turning it's a question of 2nd speaker. today the team representing their ideas to the cape p.m.'s head. design now. when i look at it from the front there's a lovely play of light and shadow. uses the industrial and constructivist aspect is a great contrast to the delicate pulses and we find that contrasts very intriguing and strong. so

it reminds me of bauhaus photography the light and shadow on the negative space. to if we explore these elements with our designs to start off into a. new tendency designs practical high quality products they're not interested in mass production. but they're kind of craftsmanship has a price one that not everyone can afford business though is thriving. competent or not so we're completely international we got 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 for us. in keeping with the bell house spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision.

and essential part of the bauhaus appeal is that all theists was keen on the idea of synergy. and vision that's become reality foundries between creative disciplines are increasingly blurred. 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. conducting research for the car industry. no she's preparing for her graduation show she studies fashion design in berlin. thought 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 fundies and men i wanted to replace man made with machine made she made. after i hit it twice i have a background in architecture perhaps that's why i tend to focus more on production methods used in industry and industrial design and. is very

ideological battle haas principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st and of and also the standardize ation the idea that everything has an ideal height an ideal size in order to optimize its utility so i fit in mentioning that it has been not. really intrigued by the idea that rather than simply buying an item of clothing that you could buy cat or computer aided design data that can 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 apostrophe fabric commonly used in the car industry but isn't there such a thing as excessive up to my station kake it's here and just as i once had to apply and over complicated process of suppose that optimization to clothing. is a humorous comment on this train and it's not meant to be taken seriously as

a big event the catwalk show in the evening. last minute pitfalls are inevitable. will the trousers fit. and i could. get them. for days off on the way i guess that it would be nice to just show you longer. this is a band that's. obvious i have to wait they're taking a 1st look i. think

this is it your turn. then go cash his collection is about to make its catwalk 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 about how. there. are no

guns in our 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 their gropius realized that only diversity could produce answers to the questions raised by the new era of these annoying sight. 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 meese found the surge director of the bell house school the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair with code

designed by miss founder and bell housemaster. the creative scope of the bauhaus school was unique a printing and advertising workshop opened in deaths 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 a man in 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. the. first came to a model 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 bar i was university environment as it's written by my. son is one of the 1st type faces that bridges the gap between western and arab farm designed by about how scratchy let's see on march 1st it's a huge crossing ships here but these days you'll see a man type for use on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material that's still in full so i was very fortunate to be able to help him find the urban landscape which tasted good visual identity of the city just as if this is where national spirit is the dish that. the middle eastern city is also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little hit no way and more often than not somewhat what it. whereas the amount of fun song this cultural center is impossible to overlook. for the rest of the

supplemental given i was happy to see it in such a prominent position in the city was rebranding itself but the result was a disaster will fill. the bill with a dime for your pains my time designer sold 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 why that's what's out. that's what at this business when i mention not everyone is thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this job. to someone who ends up in the arab world the main how the sort of typeface designer of beirut and cairo. i'm on is a very young city it's only 100 years old and the field just doesn't exist here so there's a prophesy. that's it anyway designing the font with my own idea is the stuff so

pushed out. that's eastern and to me this isn't love we'll use of our own time in arabic and work in script in bold but probably on a. visit non-critical view 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. and there's a kind of rawness. polish that i want to define to express. that there are lots of people here do apparently agree that the front captures the mood of their city rushed up. the bow housecoat a 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 arts and craft. after years of extraordinary creativity the bauhaus had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis also die on the rise across $933.00 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 our house holds water just how it was a municipal institution and timberland it was a private institution financed primarily out of mis funded always own pocket. also forced to close its breakup helped to evolve into a global movement. bass player one from guns are into not so from the outset the

bell house was very international thanks to its international connections it wasn't all that hard for the bow hauser's to disperse around the world after the school's closure for a time. the bell house movement also left its mark in tel aviv. between 192-1940 some 4000 buildings built in the modern style were wrecked it in the city center. in 2003 the white city was made to unesco world cultural heritage sites. the white city was largely 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 leading house built in 1936 is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. of. the israeli german architecture on golan iran is program director of the white city center she's well aware what a treasure it is. if you want to shine on us let's see what

original features from germany we have here actually that 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 duckie a change g c and you can just about see it 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 standard is a 0 it's interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. when being about we say can't for cantor or edge come to come to with the book and kind of circle for cycle of base cross put some shine put scratchcard stone plaster we say

she wished the german word for playing the system and it's funny listening to jewish and arab construction workers on the building site and 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. than an artist. chevron is meeting up with should i be to a show who gives tours of the white city she's an expert on the architects who gave televisa even its distinctive look. if you'll see said because i've been going with this angle is in there that building is the statue that people walk and dance my own miles as the ticket officer can get the get it lots of us and yes and. that's if they're not so important but we have to fix. social behavior of the hand of the her left.
