. you know what teeth holistic if they think that. free thinking. honest their fiduciary value credit card bust. german that is about house. after 100 years the ideals of the bond house are more relevant today than they were that the spa hosts for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future. of even how we learn we landed in some house a i think that the boat house influence is everywhere those guns oh ho set out to formulate a language of design that was you know the. that's the alice thing that everything

has an ideal high it's an ideal size and that's what optimize its utility but not you know there was this kind of push to go from wherever you are properly with your design 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 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 bauhaus doctrine around the world. so what exactly nice behind the engineering

appeal of balance. a british furniture designer with nigerian roots and henri lives in london his fascination with chavez places him firmly in the balance tradition he trolls the city in search of inspiration. once all of the books on the topic of the balls by the window in london are always it is always cheers everywhere though you might look at their market share their. i'm just always looking around noise inquisitive to kind of see what's around you know and then one farther to the 11 i will get over the us that that's the beauty of what do. you think or doesn't find anything that strikes his fancy on the street. sell you. in

a charity shop. just most of them were. quite cool. you know the 1st press is so slick and seen which. and then 2nd would be kind of having a parable in my head so having the narrative of the chair this chair just chairs it's the feel nothing 1415 story it's quite an old chair isn't it's not it's not but it's not exactly is the thing with this sixty's and i. think here is drawn to pieces that have a story to tell he likes to work in she was simply. so like pieces with character so this is this is go along with them you know kind of also you know the word it kind of used the materials there for me have so i was

in college pilots for that so speaks to me because there is a look at the kind of sections of the kind of river. in the jungle so maybe there was that could be a line in you know maybe this could be green just runs from going to the concert and where i would see in movies you know these these these these line. and also discover might be with the musical instrument but the guitar was sort of the most. intuitive design that was the bedrock principle of the bow house. the art school environment germany was founded in 1919 by an architect devoted 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 films of training

a foundation course was compulsory for all students it taught basic techniques of arts and crafts man ship. it was developed by swiss painter your highness is to 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 power play 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 yankee ilori studio in london.

most of these protests on french universities so are the green for image making and of product design you kind of teach your so a lot of the process is going on and it was no vertical so lots of the history. of the kind of history of design of graffiti there was a lot of making. company set design and ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the bow house school which has been right up into st. chad's tells part of his story. asher understood why my parents' love to nigeria and what it meant to africa and be a black british you know in london and how powerful it was and how you know but i i feel like it's power because you know everyone is is one thing is british so what i

want to do was read so my narrative using the interior parables. in these sort of thing there was an interest there yeah we found out the universe of if it was actually inside but it was israel. it was a study that. by how school and i think it for me is one of the best stuff sort of scene actually because it was just mind blowing and just seen a little distance just not knowing that existed in nigeria even just think about it's me smallish me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of the northeast for images people are just as they are. ringback the university of defense campus in nigeria was designed in the 1960 s. by bauhaus graduates are issues around. africa space shaped and been shaped by ballet. house the chauffeur look at this chair he looks looking for can.

be the influences from africa in this p.c. this is indeed the african chair a collaborative effort by to bow house masters designed. and textile artists going to. a good school 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 the hope of this story my studio and 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 so they like this visual to subprime world in 6 years millions were just going to buy. this is really nice. this is a ridiculous sign. it was in 1925 once the school relocated to death that barrel 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 debt sound 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 fashions or paul qatif. the powerhouse 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. on he saw this reflected in every aspect of industry but not really an architecture to have had ethernet architect were not mistaken for. 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 ballot house teachers and their families construction began in 1925. the homes of fighter call b.s. and laszlo mccoy large were destroyed in the 2nd world war in tucson. in foreseeing they were rebuilt but not say much reconstructed as really intact but it's.

not just laugh nikolai designed the interior of the moho a knowledge house. 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 the visitors experience and one way to draw attention to light is to refract it would lift the pressure. by made the surface of the artefact 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 tour just lost during wars as a very simple artist in all 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 shot. this heart and the house is crying out to be photographed. thus far there is no one about grouse it was very diverse and there was a bit of everything but it had clay it had lemme hundreds meyer who had a staunch lead socialist agenda. he saw the whole world who wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for pure form of what it was i was good would it have 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 point to tokyo is one of the world's knowledge just metropolitan areas housing is expensive and in short supply. me osun am a belongs to a young generation of japanese architects interested in new housing concepts. you can never see in. this and also. very close to read asian isolated situation they've never invite to be friends or even how many they don't know if that makes their thing. is seeking an entirely new approach 2.

ok i have to change my mind are there they go to read the city asking a different way of living in tokyo so i propose a. completely different way from one room apartment in tokyo. the highlights the families housing solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can a higher she's wife before the couple got married. 'd the house was very small studios her twin towers of trees and everything a path toward a show or to change that room everything was not separate so she was living that as others are for those people do. she she likes cooking and there. if you want to read out sing a song to watch t.v. so that but she kind of do that so when we find it useful we have about 20 places

to do that but it's too big for her alone so maybe rethink what to do some shows. ringback the 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 on the phone to call for a family is my no reaction of going away and it's just to change your ways you seem to forget you went and people doesn't have a local job so talking about people doesn't like in the way. that i was there you know they don't need to do something. me oh took meticulous measurements so as to use the space as efficiently as possible. the small bedrooms

on the upper floor a separated by a night and every hallway. a bridge between the private and the shared spaces. using the steps they could be it's think they only hear it but if things so they. can do video room 6. the room is the small while the shared areas are spacious the multi-purpose 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. to me oh and her husband run a successful architecture firm. she's a big fan of german bauhaus. most in

this. arc back from my thanks to them. it's not the. proportion. he makes it very simple and the looks very but it's not and the gates they go relationship with outside the room in the room and the foreign aid it's related to 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 wow yeah my wacky 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. 'd in the work meo often refers to this weighty manual compiled by announced noise

at another bauhaus graduate. the 1st edition of his architect's data is in. the current edition of this international bestseller was updated by architect your highness kister. you start planning a new project you reach for your norrie ford it's currently in its 42nd editions 100 published all over the world right. it's a reference but for spatial 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 knowing fat carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. before this was mentioned.

wasn't the 1st measure daily life. but the radical approach are 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. as well as. the book was finally published 3 years after the bell house was shut down by the nazis but the efficiency of nice 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 noisettes money can be found in architecture firms all over the world.

but. what space is needed for an elevator how much space do you need in a kitchen and industrial kitchen canteens what size should something be to work well in its environment. let's just say yes because i only. know like example of this sort of thing. if you're flipped this. can find very basic measurement knowledge we have to know but 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

play marks of the bow housecoat that carry just far as japan and. the bell house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found to call p.s. himself. director and america yet he is the guardian of his legacy nish klein climb the hunt it wasn't the ordinary old school craft person training. the name was to train a new type of artist. the industrial designer who could wear all hats so i'm going to list a generalist tech who could be an architect or a topol grapher or a painter a sculptor a photographer. i am an industrial designer who represented the universal. through our 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 conceive and create the new building of the future that's my mission. 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 down market applied art that is craft. koontz the this 100 was. 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 few that is about 25 percent each of feldspar and courts and 50 percent carol. mazing how this dust can turn into something with so much ball. author wasn't somehow elastic to imagine it being poor molded its texture is so great that the. guns tell you how

the hollow. beilin based design collective new tendency is in demand the team of graduates of the bauhaus university environment. they design industrial products for every day 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. . its appliance oppression kings with burlington porcelain. and why we mainly manufacture in germany of uncertainty 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 and that's a very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved in

broadens our minds. off. the k.t.s. porcelain is all hand crafted. ceramicist says that the ballot house environment began designing simple martin porcelain tableware for the cape pm in 1929. the new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of bellhousing by collaborating with the k pm 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 take a p.m.'s head. designer. in the film 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 postle and we find that contrasts very intriguing comes from. reminds me of bauhaus photography the light in shadow and negative space. and you've got 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. competitor that's what i'm thinking international we've 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.

in heaping with the bell how spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision. and the central part of the bauhaus appeal is that was keen on the idea of synergy . 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 is cache koolhaas conducting research for the car industry. know she's preparing for her graduation show she studies fashion design in berlin. 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 mow modern fun these were men i wanted to replace man made with machine made she made this. i asked the architect well 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. very ideological principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st and the standardized ation the idea that everything has an ideal height an 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 canned or computer aided design data that you get your data go to. workstation and the machine makes the clothes for you and the child oh 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 complete c.n.n.

i wanted to apply and overcomplicated process of suppose that optimization to clothing. as it is since a humorous comment on this trend it's not meant to be taken seriously and the big event the catwalk show in the evening. last minute kid falls are inevitable. will the trousers fit but i'm together. with a. lot of it yeah i guess it would be nice just long. distance does that. cause i have to wait there taking a 1st look if it. isn't

your turn. then go cashes 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 disciplinary approach is quintessentially downtown. 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 what i think their gropius realized that on their diversity could produce answers to the questions raised by the new era of these annoyance. 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 bell house school the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair with co designed by miss founder and bell housemaster. the creative scope of the bauhaus school was a 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. which totals if your 1st

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 minister polity disability it was my graphic design graduation project at the university environment it's in by my. son is one of the 1st type faces that bridges the gap between western and arab farms designed by about house graduates geologists it's a huge cost of ships here but these days you'll see a montage for use on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material that setting off deal until i was very fortunate to be able to help me find the urban landscape the station to give visual identity of the city just as a this is where national spirit is just that. the middle east in 60 is also

home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little hit no way and more often than not so much what. whereas the amazon funds on this cultural center is impossible to overlook. the farmers the supplemental you could i was happy to see it in such a prominent position in the city was rebranding itself but the result was a disaster for. the work that i felt much your paintings my time designer so all i 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 is made from i mention not everyone is thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this job. to someone in the arab world the main how the sort of typeface designer of beirut in cairo what kind of a man is

a very young city it's only 100 years old and the field just doesn't exist here so there's a professor. that's it anyway designing the font with my own idea is the stuff to start. does and then to me this is a lovely use of ramadan time in arabic i'm working script in bold. to. visit my own country 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. and there's a kind of rawness and. polish that i wanted to find to express. that there are lots of people here do apparently agree that the font 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 structure in 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 bauhaus had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis once a die on the rise across $933.00 was the end of the road the bauhaus 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 remember lynn it was a private institution financed primarily out of mis funded always own pocket.

also forced to close its break up helped to evolve into a global movement. bars fire one from guns and donuts and from the outset the bell house was very international thanks to its international connections and it wasn't all that hard for the bow hauser's to disperse around the world after the school's closure time. the bell house movement also left its mark in television. 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 have 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 liebling house built in 1986 is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. israeli german architect chevron

gaulin juran is program director of the white city center she is well aware what a treasure it is. we want to shout and also let's see what the original features from germany we have here 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 dump e e h a h g c 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 centerpiece of the so it's interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. even being about how we say can't or can't or or edge

can't come to the book and can't suckle for cycle of base 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 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 knew. the material it's an artist. chevron is meeting up with. 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 because i've been going with this angle of using that that building is a statue that people walk and dance my arm out says the ticket office roof. if they get lots of us and yes and. that's if they're not so important but we

have to fix so. behavior of the hand of the here less than. man as maya gropius his successor fervently believed in design for the people what became of that goal is now house designed as functional as it set out to be is about house nowadays just a grand. find out in the 2nd episode of our series bauhaus whilst the f.x. . are
