a listing that everything has an ideal heights and ideal size and that's what optimize is its utility but not you know if they want this kind of push to go out for me where were your cross when we were designing what we were you are an artist . bound house isn't legend the brilliance of the bauhaus school remain. 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 dance 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 bow house doctrine around the world.

so can we still feel the bow house effect today. serial production of every day goods was a cornerstone of the val house vision a partnership between design and industry. at the furniture retailer ikea that vision seems to have become reality. even maria renaud god knows exactly what consumers want. how can you have your 1st home your 1st bed your 1st so fire your 1st desk actually accessible at a price that you can afford that. affordability is the linchpin of the company's business model. ikea was founded in 1943 generations have grown

up with its designs. so is ikea the bow house of today is it exactly what bauhaus found. visit just century ago. we have a tone of that because a democratic design. 5 dimensions starting with form a connection to our house s. we're talking about today it's of course that form follows function to be at a good quality for what it's intended use we work very heavily with sustainability and we'll take all of those for together with a low price that's when you have a typical product. the finest pillars of democratic design as formulated by ikea founder involved camp he wanted everyone to be able to afford well made products so did vatican the 1st bell house director environment he

proposed that art craft and industry collaborate to make consumer products more available to the common man. find was a conservative place and the bauhaus school was eventually forced to move relocated to death south which proved a far better if it. didn't want to buy a house in 1905 gropius her to look for an alternative site. seem to be the best option. there were plenty of opportunities for the school to flourish their. politics and industry had vested interests in the bauhaus moving to death. because women at the time in the region were similar to silicon valley today if you will. in dest out of school joined forces with a number of industrial partners inspired by series production the battle house began exploring synergies between arts and technology. in total

bauhaus partner here and with thousands of firms to work on various projects both large and small there were very close ties between the school and industry lots of people commissioned the bar hauser's to design fittings for their homes to design brochures for their companies but of course there were plenty of raised a. eyebrows too and eventually they had to move on once again vita had seen against the backdrop of the great depression the liberal bauhaus school came under increasing pressure. in 1928 tired of facing constant hostility directed by a take or p.s. appointed a successor with swiss architect harness my air at the helm the bow house focused even more heavily on industry and also became more political. on this my all hopped on the shot her a smile moved the bow house in a very socialist direction communist even. in the extremely productive 2 years that

he was director this played a major role which was very different from the copious era before it all. hoped. the bell house set out to design and manufacture well made products for everyone. catering to every day needs took priority over artistic considerations. one void to india india voice into social they wanted to reach households homes society in general. and with products that looked completely unlike anything that had existed before else click but there was a turning point after the 1st world war by 922 or 923 of the latest everyone was excited about mechanization and industrial production. side while

there was a consensus that in the post-war era people should be modern and welcome technology and progress. and this should be reflected in everyday products from carpets to houses to the urban environment holes and they were to do this. so as to modernize the city and indeed the world will down these leon. my kids ultimate goal is no different just like the bounce house the retailer sees itself as a kind of liberal tree for a better every day life. we want to create a better everyday life for the many which in one way as a philosophy is very similar to the thinking of our house that design should not be for the few good products should be for the many for ikea the many are 1st and foremost consumers ultimately it wants to sell products the battle house effect is

unmistakable ikea's democratic design is by definition mass produced the retailer has adapted the core bauhaus philosophy to today's consumer society. than a smile was the bow house director for just 2 years in 1930 the town council dismissed him for communist sympathies. along with some former students he went to the soviet union to help build the fledgling state. the 2nd world war tour germany into to find maher and ended up in communist east germany. but when the hidden in the nfl in there was no scope for a bad house to be revived in the early years of communist east germany. it was rejected as a bushel institution. as i knew. the stuff that was

the attitude until well after the death of stalin basically until the early 1960 s. and the rise of architectural functionalism when urban planners began erecting prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities also hope. that at some point down house was real evaluated and once again seen as a. good thing paul city is saying. my is legacy was politicized design and the famous slogan folks bedard looks us but after the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. today ballet house designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them. such as vilhelm vattenfall table lamp it's now a classic. if

your hand up to the bargain fell table lamp cost around $400.00 euros. and recruit and wall that's because it was designed and manufactured at the bow house school before cereal production had really taken off the park topped. the heights even at the time the falcon found lamp was so expensive that it didn't sell very well and that's also. the hope for coal france of course. without series production the vulcan faired lamp could only remain a luxury item. but the land did cross the atlantic the museum of modern art in new york city has one in its collection. in the late 1920 s. momos founding director alfred barr helped introduce americans to the bounce. swiss born martino sheerly is momus chief curator of architecture and design.

from very early on alfred was keen on and the european of on god in general what do you especially liked about bauhaus was its push to incorporate into everyday life also its merging of art and technology and its interdisciplinary approach and its aim of making the art nonhierarchical the i was already bought took these principles these basic concepts and work them into the founding structure of the museum of modern art museum of modern art the effect. is the foundation of one of the world's foremost collections. the spouse the baja stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague. before. and i think the council is modern this design in the broadest

sense very quickly finds itself being described as bauhaus in a rather reductive fashion. it's also a way of signaling your own stylistic preferences perhaps that's problematic but of course it's also symptomatic of an extraordinary success you know if you become a brand you've really made it to a market. where all of our house is like. virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing and interesting ever happened at the house but they had an amazing chemistry machinery books magazines personalities but was this all just kind of creating a kind of cult so maybe brown house is not a broad brush analogy it's not about industrialization it's not about clarity in the machine age and strong growth he was he's

a hardcore expressionist at the beginning of brown house moments he becomes a kind of a manager is a management culture the spirit we are surrounded here barri the effects of this virus and we're in the center of management culture this is new york management central. architecture critic mark wakely lives in new york but finds the glass and steel oppressive. as the name battle house simply become a catchall label devoid of real substance. found a house is now a brand instantly recognizable. that's why it's such an enduring favorite. especially for connoisseurs of design and architecture like the alice. one could all go think it was newly built

people are always asking us about it it still does little good and. us holes i can be sure to find we stumbled across a house completely by chance it was appetizer genovese bottom bank as a bungalow in need of renovation in a prime location. and i said to my wife one of them sounds interesting let's take a look in fun. what the end has found was a piece of architectural history not even the estate agent was aware that the bungalow was the last surviving house in. gemini designed by powerhouse architect marcel broyard. we sensed a major play that there was something special about it that is what was on the us within it hadn't been touched for gives it honestly it was in terrible condition. mode somehow you could still sense the spirit of boy boy.

clients but here the owners took their cues from bauhaus inspired furnishings in the late 1920 s. marcel broyard designed this chair for the tone it company the marriage of art and industry had become reality. doesn't it is a positive guy he's a matching items of garden furniture he not only comfortable they also look amazing on lots of tubular steel that you might see why it's a sleek leashed. double had previously only been familiar with broyard the furniture. designer but now they've inadvertently become guardians of his architectural legacy in 1000000000 environment and in debt so almost so we went to lend to find mom and dad sound get 100 he started to bounce house from also fish their guns and balls he was a few shifty we learnt as long. as we felt it was important we understood more

right place everything everything everything so very very directly from what seems like a human project let's figure out the dimensions of the human body let's the system to take care of that body soon it's like let's make a new body let's make architecture in front of equipment that shapes a new film and then it's like let's make a superhuman. you could never imagine at such an obsessive building came from a straightforward person. he's talking about means found at all is secret building a steel skeleton frames talent featuring dark umbrella beings built in the late 1950 s. it helped usher in a new era of sleek elegant skyscrapers. for starters with no structural function and idea that miss found or had perfected in chicago minimalist pared down

and plastered brick expose lintels made of reinforced concrete aesthetically harnessed meyer's design mark to break from powerhouse conventions one of the standout features is the commune a walkway. different from a standard new building which would just have a normal hallway here you're immediately outside and that means there's a very different sense of community there'll be someone outside having a smoke or sitting there and people watching you. so of course you say hello and maybe have a chat good month. because there's no social cohesion in germany these days there's no one like hummus maya. with ideas and a vision that they know how to put into action congress fear. the loud been going

houses with the continuation of the urban planning agenda formulated by voted call p.s. the bell house in death sounds set out to build inexpensive housing to address the shortage in the wake of the 1st world war thus far glavica on a month ago and it was a considerable challenge because gropius is housing estate was also an economic model he designed terrorist homes that were relatively small by today's standards but he planned for lots of them to plant and also. made it possible for workers to live in a proper house. and what's even more extraordinary is that these houses are still lived in today they thought of one 3rd. as now i'm something of the curiosity here. they all see me as

a crazy professor out of the one who did up with building. and started out as an experiment to see if it was possible. why is it possible today in the early 21st century to live comfortably in a boss building which has limited space. it is possible although it does require certain compromises. he says that the fed is in the wrong place ropey has planned it to be the other way around but his bed was only one metre by 80. so with a bed that's 2 by 2 the walls a problem for by then the other way around would be better and then you could have bedside tables on both sides have on the vita is these different. plans is a die hard power house official not a. home here on the estate designed by invited o.p.'s is his castle.

i'm having a new garage added. it was really hard to find one that suited the house but then i'm obsessed with boss well one of those you asked if i wanted something very specific fortunately i had something to go by. myself the gropius master's house still has an intact garage so i use that is going to ration of it was hard but i found a company that could build it for me with the promise concrete which is even eco friendly and make something that will look very bad as a ball of article simple it. will be a stroke for efficiency solutions he tested out new building materials and prefabricated parts that could be made in series production. the construction site was like an industrial production line. with several houses under construction at once. the limited budgets called for ingenious architectural solutions. you're here behind the shower curtain was the way to the roof

terrace of the sun because of the shortage of space the weight of the roof terrace was through the bathroom to dust a house again was the destruction that you're going to see him to think it does if he really i imagine the thinking was that all the rooms up here are bedroom. and that a bathroom is the only room that everyone uses different i frequented for the store it's a good place to put the access from the balcony or the terrace. spot so i. understood it is one of the few residents of the estates whose home still looks just as it did in gropius his day. on the other houses are examples of what one might call bauhaus cage. in 1938 the global spread about house was given a major boost in new york with an exhibition at moma showcasing its work.

it's almost impossible to overstate the influence of. schools after $940.00. it was the foundation of 4 generations of artists. the classical p.o.'s was appointed chair of the department of architecture at the harvard university graduate school of design one of the most prestigious architecture departments in the country side of the $5072.00 issue that it means for the whole world went to the ana institute which became the illinois institute of technology out there where not only designed the new university campus he changed the way that architecture of was taught. does he have to work on today to tear.

the man house is impossibly important like it's just for us to discuss design without talking about the bauhaus is large talking about cooking without talking about fire right it just makes no sense and for that reason we can't get the brown house out of our bodies or out of our thoughts but that doesn't mean that the people who invented it. i knew what they were doing i feel like whenever you open your cell phone you put on some plows you go out the door whenever you read the typewriter feel what you read everything you see almost everything you see. is brown house shaped and and and and packaged and that means we are the victims of the brown house. when the nazis came to power many film about how students and teaches emigrated to the u.s. . in the 1950 s. and sixty's the movement's principles became the backbone of american modernism. on the on the stand in guy city in the 1930 s.

big lunch. the balance tradition was also fostered in post-war west germany at the school of design the high if. you do unfinished an idea was to revive the bauhaus many former bow houses taught here like max build a co-founder and its 1st director. today the old premises served as an exhibition space until its closure in 1968 the height of was one of the most seminal art and design schools in gemini what came to be known as the blue model reconfigured the role of the designer. even in the early days the school of design collaborated closely with partners in

industry one of its most successful partnerships was with the brown electric company. grange much of the elements is very about. him and the it harks back to the constructivist graphic design used by. the few to none tradition of them so what's the crib. the photo super asking for known as snow white's coffin was commissioned by brown. designed took these commissions as a way of raising money for the school so often go for the shorter. fung who is head designer at brown he's meeting with the brown collections archivist. proportions are key very slim of the proportions come from the detail. detail comes was appointed head of brown's

newly minted design department in the early 1960 s. . together with the own design school he developed a number of products that are now classics. interdisciplinary team work was crucial to the creative process. so for the photo super s.k.u. 4 is an example of a product made by a team of people sitting around a table and all chipping in the result was a product that's iconic for the corner order. it was improved upon step by step and at one point dieter suggested the plexiglass color of the turntable was designed by bargain further.

back in fed was a film about how students. i knew design language traced its lineage from the balance to 0 in and then to brown ending up in households all over the world brown will forever be associated with industrial designer details he brought a new simplicity and style to everyday objects. is when is it too much or too little what makes a product user friendly when is it too stylish lives. the very same questions that preoccupy to the bell how school. the cunt how long until brown was well known for a pared down design in just one category how to create high fives as we see here.

in global terms the brand wasn't well known so step number 2 was to translate this new design philosophy into the realm of the household. as it was with household appliances that the brown brand crossed the atlantic in america they were instantly recognized as examples of timeless design and sightless design. a film about how hot in the antarctic so in a post-war era brown was very successful in a stablish in a very high and corporate design a corporate identity if you will i know that a corporate identity had to share. its known for contemporary and functional design and detail hommes was instrumental in that process obs at any time. today the world's leading tech companies continued to be inspired by the classic

fake fake modesty that's fake news your i phone is a perfect bauhaus object in fact steve jobs went to a lecture somebody from the knew about house and said ok i totally lar of the principles of our so we always carry about house in our pocket money thing with somebody with the latest phone feels more human rather than less they don't just feel fashionable it's not just about picking up the fares it's about not falling behind still still being fully able to connect when the human is the most design thing there are. now we better get a new concept of design because it's just fine to have an i phone it's not so fun to me and i think. the unity of art and technology developed in deaths now joins to harness maya's focus on the needs of the people together they yield good design for every day objects that is the bow house effect. the

basic tenets of our house have been passed on through its successes and to traveled around the world. the unity of arts and technology has been superseded by the unity of arts and come us. about house as a brand a lifestyle. all that's great until you realize that your yourself your emotions your feelings your thoughts your body your genetics your children your way of life the sky the weather now we have designed the. rather we have designed our own extension and i realize that valve has designed good design has brought us to the very end of the destruction around us bases right at that moment our before we kill ourselves let's kill about. oh we keep posting questions just for hospice hoit us who live ben dick and the reason why bal

house is still interesting today is that it raised an interesting very fundamental questions the one we have is we want to live in the future that's suspicious that it was definitely one reason why bal house still has such a field of homes destroyed all still. does the our house still have something to teach us. now and what are our needs can be good design still improve people's everyday lives. we'll find out in the 3rd and last part of the series about how swelled the utopia .
