so quite cool. you know the 1st person is so slick and seen the chair. and then 2nd would be kind of having the powerball in my head so having the narrative of the chair this chair just chairs it's the feel nothing 1415 story and all chairs and it's not it's not it's not exactly is this the thing that you fifty's sixty's and i. think here is drawn to pieces that have a story to tell he likes to work in she was 70. so a lot of places with character so this is this is. you know kind of also you know the word it kind of used the material there for me also i was in college pilots for that source because because there is a look at it from a section so a kind of the globe. in the jungles maybe in the walls it could be

a line in you know maybe this could be green just one sprinkle of the continent where i would see in the bees you know these these these little line. and also this cover might be with the musical instrument with the guitar and other months. into it if design that was the bedrock principle of the bow out. of the art school environment germany was founded in 1919 by architect of vertical 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 meant ship. it was developed by swiss painter your highness he

encouraged students to working she would cheerfully and experiment with forms colors and materials. the characteristic colors and forms of the bow house influenced artists such as powell 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.

close buddies put this on furniture university so over the green for image making and put up a sign you kind of thing just so a lot of the process is going on and it was know for its cool so lots of history cannot buy the cannot or history of design of graffiti there was a love making. company tree set design on ceramics workshops films the cornerstone of practical training at the balcony that would have been right happening to st chad's tells part of his story. i shall just do it why my parents love to nigeria and what it meant to be african and be a black british in london and how powerful that was and how you know that i i feel like a power because you know everyone is is munchen is british so what i want to do was read so my narrative using the term parables. in these sort of thing there was

an interesting story a recent found out the universe of if it was actually sorry but it was is really not that it was a study that. by house school and i think for me it's one of the best stuff sort of scene actually because it was just mind blowing and just see i learned this just not knowing that such existed in nigeria i think they would 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 fast they are. ringback the university of in fact campus in nigeria was designed in the 1960 s. by about house graduates around. africa space shaped and been shaped by battle. house for sure to look at this chair complete with looks like an african. chair to me influences from africa in this piece is this is indeed the african chair a collaborative effort by to bow house masters design

a mass and textile artist going to. the good school the teacher at this year i mean without even knowing. a lot of most oprah's role and i think i'll copy of this terry 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 saw me a lot this movie shoots the soup from more than 60 years made and it was kind of. this is really nice. this is a ridiculous zine. it was in $1025.00 once the school relocated to death that bauhaus started to become more widely known . from his glass fronted office by to 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 are working together with the boys and the 50 meters and all very casual it was quite a provocation and. it didn't get us out of there paul qatif. the powerhouse sought to create an impression of transparency airy radiance space. for gore bill's. 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. he saw this reflected in every aspect of industry but not really in architecture and have had ethernet hitech to work now for. the new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters houses to call b.s. designed these homes for the balance house teaches them their families construction began in 1925. the homes of to call b.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 really intemperate it's. just or laugh nikolai designed the interior of the mohawk a notch house. as an artist more in 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. through it the pressure. i made the surface of the artifact the building my playing field. chopped 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. on clustering was as a very simple artisanal activity so i decided on 4 types of plaster white powder marble with various grain sizes. the variations in granularity and the way that light strikes the walls create shadow plays optician shuttle schrader. his horses

are in the houses crying out to be photographed. just as there is no one about gross it was very diverse and there was a bit of everything before it had claimed it had. hundreds meyer who had a staunch lead socialist agenda missing on 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 it had people who introduced compulsory yoga classes if your god what's truly fascinating is of course what happens when a design movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life force one indeed. 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 is 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 inside a thing and also. they closed the radiation isolated situation they never invite the people friends or even come in they don't know it next to each other and think. you know is seeking an entirely new approach 2. ok i have to change my mind and then they have to read the city asking

a different way of living in tokyo so i propose a. completely different way from nomo it won't room apartment in told you. the highlights the families housing solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can a high as she's wife before the couple got married. 'd the house was very small studios her twin towers of trees and everything packed put it show or change the room everything was not separate so she was living that as others are from those people do. she she likes cooking and. do you want to read that scene. to watch t.v. so that she can 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 at all so maybe we wanted to do some shows.

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 floor dickel for a family to make the realisation of going away and since in new ways you are going to land and people doesn't have a local job so not people doesn't like in no way. that i was there and you know they don't need to do something. 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 their steps they could see the only here but things so that they. individually are broomsticks. the rooms the small while the shared areas are spacious the multipurpose living room is where residents and friends 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. she's a big fan of german bauhaus. most in this. arc back from my house thanks to them. it's my. proposition. he makes it very simple and the looks

very but it's not and that is they go with a sense of place outside the room in the room and the foreign minister it's a real date it altogether 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 you know my wacky who studied at the bow 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 noise another bauhaus graduates.

the 1st edition of his architect's data is in. the current edition of this international bestseller was updated by architect your highness. you start planning a new project you reach for your norfork it's currently in its 42nd editions 100 published all over the world. 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 chance to compile these norms noise that carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. differ this one does mention the post wasn't the 1st to measure daily life. but the radical approach or of

relating architectures space and special 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 shot down by the nazis but the efficiency of ny 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. all over the world. but. one space is needed for an elevator how much space do you need in a kitchen and industrial kitchen canteen and what size should something be to work

well in its environment it forces them. let's just say yes because i only. know like example of this. if you're flipped this. can find a way of basic measurement know that 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 optimizing daily life and use of space play marks of the bow housecoat that carry just far as japan. the bounce archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found. himself.

director an ameri yogi is the guardian of his legacy young boy tunisia kline kline hunt well it wasn't the ordinary old school craft person training. game 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 typo 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 919 architects sculptors painters we must all turn to the crafts together let us conceive and create the new building of the future for us money. 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 this 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 few that's about 25 percent each of courts and 50 percent kalen. amazing how this dust can turn into something with so much bow. 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 every day use in the about 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. . its supply and oppression kings with burlington 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 this 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. ceramicist at the ballot house environment began designing simple modern porcelain table last for the cape pm in 1929. in. new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of bow house by collaborating with the k pm on a commemorative plate. well i'm a 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 are presenting their ideas to the cape p.m.'s head. designer. and 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 parcel and we find that contrasts very intriguing comes from. so

it 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 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. and 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. in keeping with the bell house spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision.

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

the results around expected is cash conducting research for the car industry. no she's preparing for her graduation show she studies fashion design in berlin. thought maybe my 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 we met and i wanted to replace man made with machine made machine made. us 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 i. very

ideological principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st but and so forth and it is less standardized 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. 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 data that you get your data go to. workstation and the machine makes the clothes for you and the caddo this design is they still 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 just as i once had to apply and overcomplicated process of supposed that optimization to clothing. since

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. and last minute pitfalls are inevitable. will the trousers fit but i'm back to get the. goodies that are the fit yeah i guess that it would be nice just to long. distance does and that's. because i have to wait there taking a 1st look i get it. i

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

cross disciplinary approach is quintessentially bounce house. a faux 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 they're gropius realized that on their 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 me spend their whole 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 powerhouse master. 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 among the capital of jordan decided it needed its own branding it hired graphic design a yacht in ghana who specializes in tight faces. it was a pretty daunting task. the. 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 minister polity about it 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 farm designs by about house graduates geometry is of huge cos i'm sure it's here but these days you'll see a man type face on every street sign on public transport on public website center official printed material off to long talks and i was very fortunate to be able to help him find the urban landscape the station in a visual identity of the city just as of this visit nationals business to. the middle east insists he is also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little hidden away and more often than not some more. whereas the common fun song

this cultural center is impossible to overlook. destroyed miss the supplemental thought you could say 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 it that i promise you came to my type designer so i wasn't supposed to be like this it's the equivalent of taking a painting or a photo and stretching it it's really distorted that's how they why that's what's out. that's what that's a business and i mention not everyone is thrilled to see a foreigner coming along and getting this job with them. 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 100 years old and the field just doesn't exist here so there's a prophecy. that's it anyway designing the font with my own idea is the stuff to

start. does it not to me this is a lovely use of ramadan time in arabic i'm working script in bold it's probably going to. visit my own country. and the rough edges i built into the design were inspired by a certain atmosphere in the city. and there's a kind of rawness. of polish that i wanted to find 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 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 bow house had moved to berlin and was forced to close down under pressure from the nazis once a diode isaacs was $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 house war desk 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 help to evolve into a global movement. pacifier fun fun times and i'm not some from the outset the

bauhaus 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 of it's a tie and. the bell house movement also left its mark in tel aviv. between 192940 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 magic or p.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 pages 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. in. the israeli german architecture iran iran is program director of the white city center she's well aware what a treasure it is. if you want to shine faster let's see what

original features from germany we have here at look at this this is a handle when we dismantled the door handles and cleaned them up we saw that they had stamps from the company dumpy e h a 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 center of it as a result it's interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. we say can't for cantor or edge come to come to the book and circle for a song called a bass cross put some shine put scratchcard stone plaster we say she wished the
