you know what team if holistic if they think that. free thinking. honest revolutionary vite credit card fast. sherman that is about house. after 100 years the ideals of the bonds are more relevant today than they were that the spa holds for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future. be the how will we learn. about house ai back the boat house influence is everywhere. set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. as the understanding is that everything has an ideal heights and ideal size and that's what up to my eyes is its utility in nothing congress. no there was this kind of push to go wherever you are with your

design everywhere where you are an artist. bauhaus 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 can we still feel the bow house effect today.

serial production of everyday goods was a cornerstone of that the outhouse vision a partnership between design and industry. at the furniture retailer ikea that vision seems to have become reality. if a maria renault god knows exactly what consumers want. how can you have your 1st home and your 1st bed your 1st so fire your 1st test 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 of grown up with its designs. so is ikea the bow houses. today is it exactly

what bauhaus found. visit a century ago. we have a total that because a democratic design and that 5 dimensions starting with form a connection to our house us we are talking about today is 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 to go the way of a low price that's when you have a typical ikea product. the 5 pillars of democratic design as formulated by ikea found in vast camps 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 . fine art was

a conservative place and about how school was eventually forced to move relocated to desks out which proved a far better if it. didn't want the bar house and in 1905 gropius her to look for an alternative site. seemed to be the best option as there were plenty of opportunities for the school to flourish their. politics and industry had vested interests in the bauhaus moving to death. because men at the time of the region was similar to silicon valley today if you will. in desks out of school joined forces with a number of industrial partners inspired by series production the bauhaus began exploring synergies between arts and technology. in total bauhaus partner with thousands of firms to work on various projects both large and small.

and there were very close ties between the school and industry lots of people commissioned the bow hauser's to design fittings for their homes to design brochures for their companies but of course there were plenty of raised 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 at the helm the bow house focused even more heavily on industry and also became more political. on this my own what i missed the hummin smile moved the bauhaus 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 of the board all by

hoped. the bow house set out to design and manufacture well made products for everyone. catering to everyday needs took priority over artistic considerations. one voyage to india india into social they wanted to reach households homes society in general. and with products that looked completely unlike anything that had existed before else clique there was a turning point after the 1st world war by 922 or 923 at the latest everyone was excited about mechanization and industrial production down the sides there was a consensus that in the post-war era people should be no. 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 water on these leon. nike is the ultimate goal is no different just like the bell 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 that many people in one way as a philosophy 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 bell house effect is unmistakable ikea's democratic design is by definition mass produced the retailer has adapted the core balance philosophy to today's consumer society.

and 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 tests out ended up in communist east germany. when the hidden in the nfl in there was no scope for our 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 earth. and planners began erecting

prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities and also hoped of accident that it's at that point about house was reevaluated and once again seen as a good thing if the same. as legacy was politicized design and the famous slogan folks look so spread out of the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. today bally house designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them . such as vilhelm vatten fed table lamp in snout classic. vartan for knowledge the cost of if your hand up to the bargain felt 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. that's also the hottest in the hope for coal france of course. without series production in 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 bow. swiss born martino sheerly is moments chief curator of architecture and design. from very early on alfred was keen on it and the european are wrong god in general

what do you especially liked about bauhaus was its push to incorporate art into everyday life also its merging of art and technology and its interdisciplinary approach and its aim of making the art nonhierarchical they. took these principles these basic concepts and work them into the founding structure of the museum of modern art museum of modern art the fact. that spamhaus serves as the foundation of one of the world's foremost collections. the bom house stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague term before. anything that counts as modernist designs in the broadest sense very quickly finds itself being described as by our house 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 if you become a brand you've really made it to a market. where liberal has worked. virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing is interesting ever happened at the bare 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 a process is not about rush analogies it's not about industrialization it's not about clarity in the machine age and strong growth because he's a hardcore expressionists but the beginning of browser moments he becomes a kind of a manager is a management culture of the spirit we are surrounded here by the effects of this

virus and we are 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. past the main battle house simply become a cat chilled 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 get think it was newly built people are always asking us about it till this little bit and.

go beyond us holes i can be sure to find we stumbled across a house completely by chance it was appetizer genovese bottom bank has 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 germany designed by powerhouse architect marcel broyard. via. the sense that major italy that there was something special about it that is what was on the list within it hadn't been touched for years but honestly it was in terrible condition 1st edition to shun promote somehow you could still sense the spirit of boy boy and for him of. his and for boy resistant the eaves and the ledges under the windows so that

sunlight refracts below the windows and there's never any of the wrecked sunlight in the rooms wished for dust of the immunity like design and start on the level nothing to chance. everything has been meticulously thought through it's absolutely fascinating this is you can't help but be seduced and you have to give it hats off respect with respect. so if you see these days you don't see many elements like these in houses anymore cubits lot has become very popular again there's lots of new houses and they're very nice but back then they put a lot more fortune to what it would actually be like to live in these houses leaving them holds on to undermine holes usually architects take cues from their 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. guy is a matching items of garden furniture not only comfortable and also look amazing on lots of tubular steel that is why it's a sleek is a shoe least the couple had previously only been familiar with broyard the furniture designer but now they've inadvertently become guardians of his architectural legacy in 1000000000 by. one so we went in to find sound guitar and really started to bounce from also fish bowls he was a few 50 we learnt as long. as we felt it was important we understood more about it if we were going to live as near sounds fishy in.

the media to strike syria is that the functional real face north and the rooms he actually spent time in face of. the house has a very positive energy. and he. of course not everyone has their own private bauhaus museum but they can always make a pilgrimage to the vitro design museum in via i'm trying. to mail home. frank gehry. and many other contemporary architects have left. the museum director. architecture and design essential to the human experience. and this year i know that i'm doing. the design is basically a way of solving a problem that's probably an opportunity to tackle everyday problems with creative

a famous pieces by marcel broyard and of course may sound a whole at least on the whole how to coast. there was a very upper class glamorous side to me spend a whole skittish time going with machine modernist architecture doesn't always have to be austere and it's not always white walls or the simple small window frames it's. given so you can be flamboyant to his muse demonstrated with his boss alone up a 1000000000 and also with the furniture he designed for his barcelona chair exudes the same glamour and grandeur is the pavilion itself. you think that race was a straight forward person. so people who obsess about getting everything in the 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 assess them

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 near him and then it's like let's make a superhuman. you could never imagine that such an obsessive thing for a straightforward person. talking about nice found devil was secretly building a steel skeleton framed tower featuring dark glass and bronze beams built in the late 1950 s. it helped usher in a new era of sleek elegant skyscrapers. first dance with no structural function an idea that meets found or had perfected in chicago minimalist pad down buildings often fronted by a plaza. sort of reserve the opposite straight for dollars are made by crazy people right and pros are people are often the people

of the standout features is the commune old walkway. the center guns are 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. all. this there's no social cohesion in germany these days there's no one like. us with ideas a division that they know how to put into action come this fear. the loud been going houses with the continuation of the urban planning agenda formulated by via to call p.s. the bell house indes our set out to build inexpensive housing to address the shortage
