know what teeth holistic aesthetic that. freethinking. the honest their fiduciary value radical fast. german that as our house. after 100 years the ideals of the bar house are more relevant today than they were the spa horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future under the view that how we learn we learn to give both house back the battle house influence is everywhere guns set out to formulate a language of design that was universal that serves as a listing that everything has an ideal high it's an ideal size and that's what optimize is its utility but not in the way they want this kind of push to go out

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

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

cool. you know the 1st person seen which are. and then 2nd would be kind of having a parable 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 exactly is this the 3 through fifty's sixty's or. so i like places with character so this is this is. them you know kind of also you know like the weather kind of youth material so the for me of so i was in college pilots for that sort speaks because there is a look at it from a section so the kind of the globe. in the jungles maybe in the walls it could be a line in you know maybe this could be green or move on just one sprinkle of the continent where i would see in the bees you know these these these lime. and also

this cover might be with a musical instrument with a guitarist or other months. in she would have design that was a bedrock principle of the battle house. the arts school environment germany was founded in 1919 by architect divide to call 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 the leave to a new forms 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 he encouraged students to work in she would cheerfully and experiment with forms colors and materials. the characteristic colors and forms of the

barrel 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 linking a lorry studio in london. west for these plugs on the furniture university so after 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 its cool so lots of history by

the cannot or history of design of graffiti there was a lot of making which was free. carpentry set design and ceramics workshops formed the cornerstone of practical training at the bow house school that would have been right up to st chad's tells part of his own story. rochelle as to why my parents love to nigeria and what it meant to be a black british you know in london and how powerful it was and how you know that i i feel like a power because you know everyone is is what you need british so what i wanted to do was read so my narrative using the anteroom parables. in these sort of thing there was an interesting area recently found out the universe of if it was actually started but it was israel. it was a study that. by how school and i think it for me is for the best stuff of

seriously because it was just mind blowing and just seen a lot of just just not knowing that i was actually existed in nigeria they were just interest me smallish me happy and if you look at my screen when i post this image of the northeast for images people are just fast they are. ringback the university of defense counterparts in nigeria was designed in the 1960 s. by bell house clanchy let's not rush around. africa and space shaped and been shaped by. bal house for sure if you look at the church it looks looking for african. charity because the influences from africa in this piece is this is indeed the african chap a collaborative effort by to bow house masters design. and textile artists good. 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'll copy of this story must do to others copy it could be really knows us and put it in a charity shop. in chizik. who just a lot this visual soup of from more than 60 years made it his own is kind of. this is really nice this is a ridiculous zine. it was in 1925 once the school relocated to death that bow house started to become more widely known. 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 bow house yes our 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 in the 50 metres and all very casual it was quite a provocation. it didn't get us out of there paul qatif. the powerhouse sought 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. he saw this reflected in every aspect of industry but not really in architecture at

her death and that i could take to or not mistaken for a. new clear language of forms was put into practice in the nearby masters houses to call b.s. designed these homes for the balance teachers and their families construction began in 1925. the homes of copious alas low mccoy notch were destroyed in the 2nd world war in to say. in foreseeing they were rebuilt but not so much reconstructed as re integrity it's. artist or laugh nikolai designed the interior of the most knowledge house. while in office as an artist noir knowledge was very interested in light so i made light a central part of my design and figured out a way to make it an element of

a visitor's experience because this and one way to draw attention to light is to refract it at least with this question. i 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 out the craftsmanship that played such a key role at the powerhouse so between those lost during wars as a very simple artisanal activity so i decided on 4 types of plaster white powder marble with various grain sizes. with variations in granularity and the way that light strikes the walls create shadow plays opticians of. the horses in the houses crying out to be photographed. skits 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 oscars lemme hundreds meyer who had a staunch lead socialist agenda while missing the whole world who wanted nothing to do with ideology and was on a quest for pure form of what it is i was good will it have people who introduced compulsory yoga classes if you will truly fascinating is of course what happens when a design movement becomes a universal concept when it becomes life force one of the. in japan quality design traditionally plays a big part in daily life the aesthetic sensibility and the striving for clarity and simplicity underpinning japanese culture have much in common with the visual language of bauhaus and indeed partly inspired it. i went to tokyo is one of the world's knowledge is metropolitan areas housing is expensive

and in short supply. me osun am a belongs to a young generation of japanese architects interested in new housing concepts. you can never see in 5 days and also. they closed or read a short isolated situation they never invite the feed for granted or even come in if they don't know it it makes the job there i think. me oh is seeking an entirely new approach 2. ok i have to change my mind are there they go to read the city asking different way of living in tokyo so i propose a. completely different way from one room apartment in tokyo.

the highlight she families housing solution is radical by japanese standards the project was started by can they hire she's wife before the couple got married. 'd the house was very small studio terror. of trees and read everything a path toward a show or to change that room everything was not separate so she was a limit as others are for those people do. she she likes cooking and there. if you want to read out see this or to watch t.v. so that she can do that so when we find this one we have about 20 places to do that but it's too big for her alone so maybe we want 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 an affordable for a family as my no realisation of thank goodness me and says to change your ways you are going to wind down and people doesn't have all the joy so many people doesn't like in the way it's as their you know they and they 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 and lights and every hallway. a bridge between the private and the shared spaces. using their steps they could be. here but things so that they. individually or room 6.

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. meal and her husband run a successful architecture firm. and she's a big fan of german bauhaus. most. arc back from my thanks to them. it's not their. problem. although he makes it very simple and the looks very easy but it's not and there is like a relationship is outside the room in the room and the foreign into it to relate it

all together and this is kind of. bauhaus had close ties to japan from the outset this house was built in the 1930 s. by you 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 another bauhaus graduate. the 1st edition of his architect's data is in. the current edition of this

international bestseller was updated by architect yohannes kister. you start planning a new project you reach for your norfork it's currently in its 42nd editions 100 published all over the world right. it's a reference but for special requirements in building design and site planning from the best height for a door handle to the angle of a body leaning back in a chat to compile these norms noise that carried out detailed measurements of the human body in daily activities and its use of space. differ this is mention the problem wasn't the 1st to measure daily life. but the radical approach or of relating architectures space and spatial relationships to such measurements and the radical extrapolation of space allocation and type biology from these relationships

that was the cornerstone of us and as for those people. the book was finally published 3 years after the bauhaus 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.

it's just so useful because i only. know like example of this. if you flip this can we can find brave basic measurement no letter we have to know what that we can't put everything into my brain so it's a part of our way of. measuring people activities things rationality and detail as tools for optimizing daily life and use of space plane marks of the bauhaus code that carry just far as japan. the bell house archive in berlin designed by none other than bauhaus found to call p.s. himself. direct to an america yet he is the guardian of his legacy bolton nish to

klein klein 100 well it wasn't the ordinary old school crafts person training. the name was to train a new type of artist in the industrial designer who could wear all hats so i'm going to list a generalist who could be an architect or a topanga for 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 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 sound on the other side the more down market applied art that is craft. the this 100.

the bauhaus code blurred the distinction between fine art and applied arts. then and now the starting point is always the material in the finance about 25 percent each of feldspar and courts and 50 percent kalen. amazing how this dust can turn into something with so much ball look. also 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 that a team of graduates of the bauhaus university environment. they design industrial products for every day use in the tradition of functional and no frills

. the firm is teaming up with one of germany's oldest manufacturing companies the royal porcelain factory pm. it's supplied pression kings with burley in porcelain. and why do we mainly manufacture in germany. on the one hand because of the tradition of craftsmanship but also because of the convenience the fact that we can visit the factories for things that's very exciting for us designers it reminds us of the craftsmanship involved and broadens our minds. off. the cake pms porcelain is all hand crafted. surrounded says that the ballot house environment began designing simple martin porcelain table laugh for the cape

pm in 1929. the new tendency is marking the 100th anniversary of by collaborating with the k pm on a commemorative plate. and as soon as you start it's already gone you can see how fast it's turning it's a question of seconds. today the team representing their ideas to the k.p.n. head. design now. when i look at it from the front there's a lovely play of light and shadow which uses the industrial and constructivist aspect is a great contrast to the delicate postle and we find that contrasts very intriguing from. reminds me of bauhaus photography the light and 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. that's what i'm pretty 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 continued. in keeping with the ballfield spirit a good product is a fusion of skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision. and the essential part of the bauhaus appeal is that goal thius was keen on the idea of synergy. vision that's become reality around dreams between creative

disciplines are increasingly blurred. and 1st i need a vacuum. and the material softens and starts to melt it melts very fast and then it gets smooth . finished. the results around expected this cash 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 more modern fundies and men i wanted to replace man made with machine made machine made. after i had picked why i have a background in architecture perhaps that's why i tend to focus more on production methods used in industry and industrial design just. very ideological battle haas principle is always my starting point when i begin a new project the principle of function 1st. and so forth and the standardize

ation the idea that everything has an ideal height and 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 based on motorbike trounces made from an upholstery fabric commonly used in the car industry but isn't there such a thing as excessive optimize ation a complete c. 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 in the big event the catwalk show in the evening. last minute get

full sorry never to bill. will the trousers fit but i'm back to get the. goodies that are the feet i guess and it would be nice just long. distance just that's. because i have to wait there taking a 1st look i get it. i . think is it your turn. then go cashiers collection is about to make its debut.

after months of hard graduation in her pockets she can finally relax and enjoy the moment. fashion design that straddles architecture and technology analog and digital. across disciplinary approach is quintessentially valves. there. are no guns forks one of the main reasons for the success of our house was that the

movement was brave enough to bring together very different creative minds when you take a look at who target there they don't seem to have anything in common creatively and they were very different characters and for sheena to correct here or not i think 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. the serge director of the bauhaus school the architecture and the interior blend seamlessly the furnishings which include the famous barcelona chair with code designed by miss found 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 among the capital of jordan they decided it needed its own branding it hired graphic design a young gal who specializes in type faces. it was a pretty daunting task. its 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 municipality disability it was my graphic design graduation project at the box office university

environment it in by my. son is one of the 1st type faces that bridges the gap between western and arab fund designed by about how scratchy let's see how much 1st it's a huge cost of ships here but these days you'll see a man typeface on every street sign on public transport on public websites and official printed material but certain are still on the books and i was very fortunate to be able to help them find the urban landscape just making a visual identity of the city just as if this is where national spirit is the best of. the middle eastern city is also home to some intriguing modernist architecture albeit a little hidden away and more often than not so much what. where as the amazon funds on this cultural sense that it's impossible to overlook. the soap on the end of all 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. paintings 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 while that's what's out. that's what that's his business and i mentioned not everyone was 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 prophesy. that's it anyway designing the font with my own idea is the shift to start. the service from them to me this is a lovely use of ramadan time in arabic i'm working script in bold but probably

going to. visit my own company 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 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 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 once a diode eyes 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 nice funds are always on pocket. also forced to close its breakup help to evolve into a global movement. pacifier for an uncertain time outs and 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 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 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 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 the 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 leading house built in 1986 is undergoing an extensive restoration and will soon be opening as a heritage center. in the israeli german architect chevron neuron is program director of the white city center she's well aware of what a treasure it is. we want to shine the let's see what original features from germany we have here actually that 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 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 it's the company was called loewy there are all sorts of treasures like that here you know where. this is the standard is a result it's interesting in architecture how many german words hebrew uses. we say can't for cantor or edge come from and would go back and kind of circle 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 not just. chevron is meeting up with should have you gives tours of the white city she's an expert on the architects who gave televisa eve its distinctive look. if you see set go because i've been going with this angle of easy to see that building is the statue that people walk and dance my own miles as the ticket office . at the kenneth lots of a and yes and. that's if they're not so important but we have to fix this. social behavior of the man of the here less than. honest maya gropius his successor fervently believed in design for the people what
