you know what tif holistic if they think that. free thinking or to use the honest their fiduciary fight credit come fast. that is about house. after 100 years the ideals of the bonds are more relevant today than they were then the whole set for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future. of even how we learn the value we live t.v. it's a kids house a i'm back the boat house influence is everywhere. set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. as i understood that everything has an ideal heights and ideal size and that's what optimize its utility but not you know

if they want to. all of those to go wherever you are with your desire we were 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 the val house vision a partnership between design and industry. at the furniture retailer ikea that vision seems to have become reality. if a mario renault gods knows exactly what consumers want. how can you have your 1st home and your 1st bed your 1st soulfire your 1st desk actually accessible at a price that you can afford that. affordability is the linchpin of the company's business model. ikea was founded in 1943 generations of grown up with its designs. so is ikea the bow house of today. is it exactly

what our house found. a century ago. we have a tone of that because a democratic design. that mentions starting with form a connection to our house us we are talking about today is of course that form follows function to be a good quality for what it's intended use we work very heavily with sustainability and we'll take all of those for together with a low price that's when you have a typical product. the fines pillars of democratic design as formulated by ikea found involve camp he wanted everyone to be able to afford well made products so did vatican the 1st bell house director environment he proposed that art craft and industry collaborate to make consumer products more available to the common man

. behind was a conservative place and the bauhaus school was eventually forced to move relocated to death south which proved a far better if it. didn't want to buy a house 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 desktop a school joined forces with a number of industrial partners inspired by series production the bauhaus began exploring synergies between arts and technology. does faster and in total bauhaus partner here and with thousands of firms to work on various projects both large and small there. 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 battle house 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 hut i wish to harness my remove 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 the board all by hoped.

the bow house set out to design and manufacture well made products for everyone. catering to every day needs took priority over artistic considerations. one voted to india india hoist into social they wanted to reach households homes society in general. and with products that looked completely unlike anything that had existed before else click there was a turning point after the 1st world war by 922 or 923 of the latest everyone was excited about mechanization and industrial production. side there was a consensus that in the post-war era people should be modern and well. km 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 was down these leon. nike is the ultimate goal is no different just like the bow house the retailer sees itself as a kind of liberal tree for a better everyday life. we want to create a better everyday life for the many people which in one way as a philosophy is very similar to the thinking of our house that design should not be for the few good products should be for the many for 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 bow house philosophy to today's consumer society.

than a smile was the bow house director for just 2 years in 1930 the town council dismissed him for communist sympathies. along with some former students he went to the soviet union to help build the fledgling state. the 2nd world war tour germany into 2 fine marren to death south ended up in communist east germany. holes. in the nfl in there was no scope for a powerhouse to be revived in the early years of communist east germany. it was rejected as abortion all institutions. as i knew. the stuff that was the attitude until well after the death of stalin basically until the early 1960 s. and the rise of architectural functionalism when urban planners big. erecting

prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities also hope they are better to at that point about house was reevaluated and once again seen as a good thing a poor city for the same. as legacy was politicized design and the famous slogan folks bedard looks are spread out of the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. today ballot house designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them. such as vilhelm vatten fed table lamp it's now a classic. if you owned up to the bargain felt table lamp that cost around $400.00 euros. and recouped and was 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 of our going felled lamp was so expensive that it didn't sell very well and that's one goal also should know how to sing the hope for coffee to cope. without series production the vulcan faired lamp could only remain a luxury item. but the land did cross the atlantic the museum of modern art in new york city has one in its collection. in the late 1920 s. momos founding director alfred bach helped introduce americans to the bow. swiss born martino sheerly is no man's chief curator of architecture and design. from very early on alfred was keen on and the european of on god in general what do

you especially liked about it 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 arts nonhierarchical. i was already part took these principles these basic concepts and work them into the founding structure of the museum of modern art of modern art direct us. about how service is the foundation of one of the world's fool most elections. the. house stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague. the physical and heels of anything that counters modern this design in the broadest sense very quickly finds itself being described as bauhaus in a rather reductive fashion. it's also

a way of signaling your own stylistic preferences perhaps that's problematic but of course it's also symptomatic of an extraordinary success if you become a brand you've really made it to a market. is like. virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing 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 or maybe a process not a broad brush analogy is not about industrialization it's not about clarity in the machine age and so on brokers he's a hardcore expressionist at the beginning of grouse 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're in the center of management culture this is new york management central. architecture critic mark wakely lives in new york but finds the glass and steel oppressive. as the name battle house simply become a casual label devoid of real substance. found a house is now a brand instantly recognizable. that's why it's such an enduring favorite. especially for connoisseurs of design and architecture like the alice. one could all go think it was newly built people are always asking us about it still does little good in the.

halls i wish to find we stumbled across the house completely by chance it was appetizer genovese bottom bank as a bungalow in need of renovation in a prime location. and i said to my wife one of an 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 bundle was the last surviving house in. gemini designed by powerhouse architect marcel broyard. we sensed immediately that there was something special about it that is what it was on the us within it hadn't been touched for years but honestly it was in terrible condition. mode somehow you could still sense the spirit of boy or boy and. his and dark force boy opposition 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 thoughts of the unity of actors on and start on he led them nothing to chance everything has been meticulously thought through it's absolutely fascinating if you can't help but be seduced and you have to give it to hats off respect of respect. so if you see these days you don't see many elements like these in houses anymore the cube is lost has become very popular again there's lots of new houses and they're very nice but back then they put a lot more thought into what it would actually be like to live in these houses or leave me and undo my whole is 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 it is a positive guy isn't matching items of garden furniture he not only comfortable to also look amazing on lots of tubular steel that you might see why it's a sleek is actually just 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 environment and in debt so almost so we went to lend to fine mom and dad sound guitar grady started to bounce from also fish guns and balls he was a few shifty we learnt a long. while and we felt it was important we understood more about it and if we were going to live as most hounds me it will be officially.

live in the house of the media to strike syria is that the functional realist face north and the rooms he actually spent time in face of. as a 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 time. can't solve and him alone. frank gehry. and many other contemporary architects have left. to museum director mike teo cleese in design essential to the human experience design is an issue i know as i'm doing. the design is basically a way of solving a problem that's probably an opportunity to tackle everyday problems with creative

ideas those kinds of that can involve furniture of those kinds of but it can also involve processes and social situation it's in a position as much more of the new zine than making products a few mirror is no object to strive to. design and the. designers also address questions has to do with societies or new materials and with things that are not always tangible. dozens or and does this that is our understanding of design it has its roots in bob's sorts a few of those schools one of the 1st institutions propagating a wide ranging understanding of you signed i went beyond individual objects to the bone house the design was a way of shaping society and the future and so confessed on. the museum's collection has some 7000 exhibits including many iconic examples of international product design. there are famous pieces by marcel

broyard and of course me sound all these from the whole how to even. there was a very upper class glamorous side to me struggle a skittish time to muslims modern stark an actor doesn't always have to be austere it's not always white walls or the simple small window frames it is impossible not to mention it can be flamboyant to his muse demonstrated with his boss alone a pavilion and also with the furniture he designed for his barcelona chair exudes the same glamour and grandeur as the pavilion itself. do you think that race was a straight forward person. or people who have serious 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 time

to take care of that body soon it's like let's make a new body let's make architecture in front of equipment that shapes a new film and then it's like let's make a superhuman. you could never imagine that such an obsessive building came from a straightforward person. he's talking about nice found at all is secret building a steel skeleton frames talent featuring dark glass i'm bronze beams built in the late 1950 s. it helped usher in a new era of sleek elegant skyscrapers as. the sounds with no structural function and idea that miss found or had perfected in chicago minimalist pared down buildings often fronted by a plan. sort of reserve the opposite straightforward programs are made by crazy people. and possibly of all are often

the people that really affect us or have we ever been affected by somebody that's nice our sort of barbell house was not ours. i've got 45.8 square meters the other apartments are about the same size luxury. i'm not going anywhere. cast in france loves her compact little apartment indes out. she doesn't think it's the least bit or sterile soulless. says it is i can see every change in the weather every move through my window it's lovely it was in the you usually only see windows this size in shop fronts i have a shop window onto a park i love it it's wonderful it every time of the year especially in winter when

it snows it is close in here magical when there's a full moon or moonlight floods through the window it's a permanent light show just for me as my kids. designed by one a smile in 1929 the world famous gang houses were extraordinarily innovative and progressive for the time. the affordable housing project was a perfect example of his guiding principle that architecture has a social responsibility. it was from all social classes merchants shoemakers metal workers just think of how most people lived in berlin in. 1920 s. and thirty's look how light this apartment is imagine how it must have felt to people with low incomes it was sensational and just for me. to offer. and plastered brick expose lintels made of reinforced concrete aesthetically

harnessed meyer's design mark to break from battle house conventions one of the standout features is the communal walkway. this is. 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. so of course you say hello and maybe have a chat with mankind or. because 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 congress feared. the loud been going houses with the continuation of the urban planning agenda formulated by voted call p.s. the bow house in death south set out to build inexpensive housing to address the

shortage in the wake of the 1st world war thus far glavica on a month ago and it was a considerable challenge because gropius is housing estate was also an economic model he designed terrorist homes that were relatively small by to their standards but he planned for lots of them to plant and also about made it possible for workers to live in a proper house. and what's even more extraordinary is that these houses are still lived in today is that the sort of unfair. clinic sold here is now i'm something of the curiosity here. they all see me as a crazy professor at the other one who did up the bronze building. and started out as an experiment to see if it was possible. why is it possible today in

the early 21st century to live comfortably going to bomb us building which has limited space so. it is possible although it does require certain compromises. is that the fed is in the wrong place ropey has planned it to be the other way around but his bed was only one metre by 80 bits so with a bed that's to bind to the walls a problem none of them fall by then the other way around would be better and then you could have bedside tables on both sides of either it's little. hands is a die hard powerhouse afficionado. his home here on the estate designed by vertical p.s. is his castle. i'm having a new garage added it was really hard to find one that suited the house but then

i'm obsessed with us well one of those years i wanted something very specific fortunately i had something to go by. myself master's house still has an intact garage so i used that as going inspiration of it was hard but i found a company that could build it for me with promise concrete which is even eco friendly and make something that will look very bad as a ball of article simple. copious strove for efficiency elevations he tested out new building materials and prefabricated parts that could be made in series production. the construction site was like an industrial production line. with several houses under construction at once. the limited budgets called for ingenious architectural solutions. here you hear behind the shower curtain was the way to the roof terrace of the sun because of the shortage of sprays the way to the roof terrace was through the bathroom tiles again was the distinction

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

to shape and it's almost impossible to overstate the influence of signal west schools after $940.00. it was the foundation for generations of artists. the classical pos was appointed chair of the department of architecture at the harvard university graduate school of design one of the most prestigious architecture departments in the country and he started to assure that it means for the whole world went to the ana institute which became the illinois institute of technology out there where i not only designed the new university campus he changed the way that architecture was taught you. city of the world today has to tear. the man house is impossibly important like it's just for us to discuss design without talking about the brown house is large talking about cooking without talking about fire right it just makes no sense and for that reason we can't get

the brown house out of our bodies or out of our thoughts but that doesn't mean that the people who invented it. i knew what they were doing i feel like whenever you open your cell from you put on some clothes you go out the door whenever you read the typewriter feel what you read everything you see almost everything you see. is brown house shaped and and and and packaged and that means we are the victims of the bronze. when the nazis came to power many film about how students and teaches emigrated to the u.s. . in the 1950 s. and sixty's the movement's principles became the backbone of american modernism. on the on the as if all of us found in pricing in the 1930 s. on the end user the others were invited to teach at black mountain college in north carolina us in 50 means but in the 1950 s.

it became a chrysalis for many extraordinarily important artists a couldn't via the said law if you tell a child that many of the people who played influential roles in post-war america not were affiliated with schools that had picked up the mantle of bauhaus sholto this battle how robert rauschenberg jasper johns most cunning i'm still would throw up a trash or just the charms of norse conning and. curry are great for mass coming on his. black mountain explored the ideas of movement developed in the bauhaus stage workshop. seeing where art has gone and the bauhaus of men does cross over into

appliances that the brown brand crossed the atlantic in america they were instantly recognized as examples of timeless design and sightless design. a film about how hot in there not exist a post-war era brown was very successful in a stablish in a very high and corporate design a corporate identity if you will know that the corporate identity had to share. its known for contemporary and functional design and detail homs was instrumental in that process obs adamant. today the world's leading tech companies continued to be inspired by the classic $960.00 s. and seventy's brown a static. aesthetic that lives on in apple's i pod and i phone. the

a lecture somebody from the new about house and said ok i totally love the principles of our house so we always carry about house in our pocket but even with somebody with the latest phone feels more human rather than less they don't just feel fashionable it's not just about big numbers it's about not falling behind store still being fully able to connect when the human is the most design thing there are. now we better get a new concept to design because it's just fine to have an i phone it's not so fun to be and i think. the unity of art and technology developed in deaths now joins to harness maya's focus on the needs of the people together they yield good design for everyday objects that is the bauhaus effects. of the basic tenets of our house have been passed on through its successes and have traveled around the world.

the unity of arts and technology has been superceded by the unity of arts and come us. about house as a brand a lifestyle. all that's great until you realize that you yourself your emotions your feelings your thoughts your body your genetics your children your way of life the sky the weather now we have designed the. whether we have designed our own extinction i realize about has designed a good design or has brought us to the very end of the destruction around us reserves right at that moment our before we tell ourselves let's kill about. oh we keep posting questions fossils for hospice hoit us would like them tick and the reason why bal house is still interesting today is guns is that it raises interesting very fundamental questions hard and very boring how do we want to live

in the future that's the sit up that is most definitely one reason why ballot house still has such a field volvo's this how it all still. does the house still have something to teach us. who are we now and what are our needs can good design still improve people's everyday lives. we'll find out in the 3rd and last part of the series our house welt the utopia.
