you know what team if holistic if they pick that. free thinking. honest their fiduciary value credit card fast. german that as our house. call to 100 years the ideals of the bond house are more relevant today than they were than the spall horse for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future on the view that how we learn the value we live in from both coasts a aipac the both house influence is everywhere those guns set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. as a listing is that everything has an ideal high it's an ideal size and that's what optimize is its utility been nothing congress. there was this kind of push to go

over your procmail over your design everywhere with a lot system. belle 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 force the school to shut down its artists architects and visionaries emigrated fanning out and spreading the bow house doctrine around the world. what became of the bell house utopia and the principle that good design can improve people's lives.

in the early 1960 s. vantage o.p.'s drew up plans for a large housing estate on the outskirts of berlin modern urban planning would tackle the housing shortage nearly all the new homes which earmarked for low income families. 30 years after the closure of the bauhaus the project sought to put the schools vision into action a better life for many people over it and moving to the copious stats was a dream. is sure luxury was the one nevada huge apartment with a bathroom and everything's all running out water unbelievable wish i still love the cold people start. your term vice beca and one skilled meat moved into the gulf as soon as it was completed. 1st of all i got married in 1989 and there were no

apartments to be had anywhere nowadays things that easy in comparison housing was desperately needed back then one morning. when the old loans used to show you also moved here in 1006. 107 or 29 applications for apartments i got 4 offers including this place for you i didn't have a car but i knew there was an underground start here so ours took the offer here. in front of. the guy in the late 1950 s. and early 1960 s. solutions to the housing crisis became more ambitious the whole most of it. b.s. and his architecture firm tech the architects collaborative were tasked with drawing up a master plan of debate and i must stop. even before the war the rear

courtyard buildings of many tenement blocks in berlin had been torn down to make the apartments in the front light and am riya new housing projects were to be built in the city's green outskirts to force their own goal saw up to launch off the idea of huge urban estates had already been explored on paper as a utopian vision by architects in the 1920 s. . he has his vision of an urban utopia was defeated by circumstances beyond his control in 1961 communist east germany built the berlin wall dividing the city into and exacerbating the housing shortage. called p.s. originally planned residential blocks with 14500 apartments and a maximum of 4 seen floors in the end there were 19000 apartments. and up to 30

floors. gropius his original vision ended up massively compromised. to kind of test. so he didn't want just patches of green he wanted a landscape with green flowing spaces between the buildings and in the. in his vision nature wasn't contained it was an intake all part of the new york state and was from his by this point vital p.s. had long been living in the us. didn't have much time. for he could only be reached by phone call my or knowing that he paid a visit maybe 3 times a year or so. he was never in charge of the projects one year and was more of a consultant not the godfather of the planet as you take. gropius came to berlin when the foundation stone was laid. but he wasn't involved with the

construction and there was nothing he could do about the final result all peoples with 10 years did everything in his power to prevent his name being attached to the project he was deeply unhappy about it there is no doubt about it at that. in after his death the whole complex was named after him which must have made him turn in his grave. by the 1980 s. that had gained a reputation as a troubled neighborhood a rundown concrete jungle with new tenants coming and going all the time and lots of derelict apartments. that frequently hit the headlines as a crime hotspots. but she used her advice becca and tan scaled me to her it was home. i love and people were happy here and didn't understand what all the bad headlines were about

we didn't see it like hurt at all we lived here with our children and we liked it as a shared. today go ph that is once again popular with families the area is getting spruced up thanks to renovation work and community outreach projects this utopian vision of urban life is still a work in progress. elsewhere in the world utopias a further out of reach in latin america's major cities there's a lot of room for improvement in housing and infrastructure. many urban planners there would agree with the bauhaus principle that architects baz social responsibility. is still only. our work is architects and urban planners is about people. people

matter to carolinas. an urban planner from meddling in columbia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. traffic clogs the streets and spawning for vale as defined the cityscape. it's nearly impossible for buses to pass through these narrow steep streets. i but then the city has an idea. today 6 outdoor escalators extend 384 meters up the hill side now the 140000 residents of community one of the city's poorest neighborhoods no longer need to make the climb by foot. jayco christan

a is well aware of how the escalators have affected the district. i'm 33 and i've lived here all my life here with my mother sister and son. the escalators are a major tourist attraction a bonus for locals like j.k. iraq but who gives guided tools of the area's best graffiti. in the past few visitors would have debt to venture into coming that tests are reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of what's often called the world's most dangerous city . like there's more to the many friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors lots of people just disappear it happened a lot around here but i don't know. improving people's minds this was the

vision of bow house today that nation also encompasses infrastructure projects like these help don't escalate. because there's no money but this time he has the leaders themselves on even the point the point is what they've been lifting people in the sense of community. they've created a sense of belonging of happiness and pride in the neighborhood they get out on the ships who are you miles at 3 or 4 more than 30 families with small shops live near the escalators so thanks to the escalators local businesses are doing much better we are going to buy because someone you look at obviously was scared of it. oh i thought oh yes then we'll. these days consuelo gussie is shop is trying. times used to be tough. getting

around used to be much harder. than somewhere it was very hard terrible as it is here in the roads weren't paved. no no they weren't we had streets of mud repeal of mud that's right we're going this way but there were lots of houses here back then weren't there. so you see yes many will make a voyage i wouldn't have ones that's right is there but i think there was a narrow path a steep slope sometimes there be water gushing down it. it was a narrow sunken footpath you know. the escalators and the cable cars on the other side of the city that connected to the fed made us have attracted international attention. in 2013 methane was named the world's most innovative city. to tell us who i did that hasn't. yeah i mean sure it's

a beautiful city very photogenic very friendly but there is more than one narrative of what's happened here. these infrastructure projects were designed to improve public transport like the cable cars but the all teary or motive was to sell the city the city has rebranded itself. in doing so it hasn't always put its residents needs front and center a further cable car line is under development. this together with other infrastructure projects has put some 600 families at risk of losing their homes. the city for tourists or for those who live here. urban planners like carolyn do what they can to ensure it's for the people who live there. mexico embraced many of the ideas 1st explored at the barrel house as early as the

1920 s. . and then in 1939 former bow house director hunted smiler received an invitation. he became head of the new institute for urban planning in mexico city. there aren't many buildings by meyer he spent 10 years in mexico but we don't have a single one. there nevertheless harness my influence an entire generation of mexican architects. influence him as i can say with absolute certainty that bell has had a huge influence on many mexican architects who stuck with the mario party for example. in may he called me and party has been a major influence on me i'm sure that hundreds meyer had a big effect on him. but it's one more you have no. architect

tatiana bilbao is interested in social housing. yes there's a levy in there and make a. situation in mexico is very difficult there's a huge demand for housing. and the housing that is available is poor quality very rundown. she wants to build affordable housing that does more than just meet minimum government standards. i'm interested in the structure my idea was to design the structure for a house that could be extended to become larger than 43 square meters because that's just too small but i mean we wanted a flexible design that could respond to different needs and climate conditions that's one that's expandable. said must let's see what that means but i'm going to say if. she's designed a flexible pro. type for a house that can be easily reproduced much like hana's. houses indes out it's

intended for the very poorest members of mexican society and is subsidized by the government the most affordable version costs just $8000.00. the core of each house is made of concrete block the innovation is that this can be expanded with flexible modules. the population of mexico is growing rapidly inspired by the utopian vision of the ballot house tatiana bill dallas well designed her homes are a progressive and creative solution to the country's housing shortage. they were there for a map. maybe it's naive entering the idea that architects have the potential to make a difference that with. no plan here that i believe we did. to

me the most is a vision of the future it demonstrated what architects can do to help people in their lives that they feel so they will mask it and went back that it's in that respect that identify most with the movement. in miami and. spent 10 years in mexico. at a time when its left wing government was introducing sweeping social reforms. to this it is philip that the new yorker dirtier insisted that its architecture was an art form. nobody young. there were resistant to harness myra's hardly a rationalist approach. no more. so what did meyer accomplish work in support of the plan to build units on every corner. does he remember this

years laughs we don't have a single building here in mexico city already actually designed to overcall stories that made you but we do have many buildings that are a testament to his influence rooms here. in me yet no. film about house teaches josefa and annie ibos also helped house ideas spread across latin and south america. the couple traveled extensively through mexico cuba peru and chile frequently guest teaching. on the album as fell in love with mexican weaving techniques and traditional south american textiles back at black mounting college she passed on to her students what she'd learned. mexican artist and more munoz sites on the albums textiles and prints as a major influence on her work on the yucatan peninsula she founded you cut tech a social project for my own women that marries tech and tradition. these

seamstresses used to work in a textiles factory that closed down. they've now found new ways to use their skills. in some project localness beautiful that meant this project as collaborative and participatory the basic aim is to apply the do it yourself spirit to traditional crafting and the maker movement closing the gap between artists and all creativity and technology that they can look here. at the. business side on all the cases they're making here this panel and the electrical sombrero hat it all works with rechargeable batteries but there are other godless. the solar panels are connected to each other using conductive steel thread forming an electrical circuit the women combine the conductive thread with

henican the type of garvey that grows in the yucatan peninsula. once the solar panel has charged for about 5 hours during the daytime it can provide enough light for 2 nights. not to but that it's really useful at night when it's pitch dark in my village. it's on all night and it's so useful when i need to go to the toilet or hear a strange noise. it's a bright light it's very useful to let loose. more encourages the women to feel proud of their skills and to find creative ways of using them. this is a safe bet is that this also how does your husband feel about you understanding how solar power and l.e.d.s. work and what a battery is what you've learned to the basic principles of engineering even if you don't realize it. look to see if it's

a great advantage for me what i've learned and will help me in the future with. this is working with new materials and products is providing these women with a new life. we're thinking of making new products and taking them to market so people can buy them. these days not much traditional hedican is grown in the yucatan region the market is dominated by imported synthetic fiber from china. most technology can be used to ensure that old fashioned skills are forgotten that it can help keep your craft and a traditional lives so why not use it. more men yes has found a way of fusing technology and textiles to secure

a professional future for my and crafts women. she was partly inspired by the work of powerhouse artist. ai tough as any and there's. any other as 1st arrived at black mountain college she had to adjust to the circumstances. there were few materials to work with for example so she began using natural materials like pasture grass shrubs eucalyptus and shoot i mean she'd leave them together with industrial materials just as we did with you cuttack not. every day design that's a hybrid of handmade and high tech is this the utopian vision of the bow house in action both houses the press and there's a strong bio house influence in many parts of latin america

a strong connection but you see it with a little utopia like this one here this little social experiment it may be small scale but it's exactly what they were aiming for when they established the bauhaus house. the moment of your leave you learn from them really you don't see the influence of an actual product anymore. a lot of time has passed. 100 years that's a long time. see you but it's philosophy using trends there were designed taught and trained. for the most your laws and signals policy is always the starting point. is simple. bauhaus was a movement but it was 1st and foremost a school its goal was to foster a new generation for a new beginning education was of paramount importance. the

inauguration of the new campus of the german school in madrid. students and professional dancers are exploring the premises experiencing space through movement and idea that also has roots in the bow house. workshops. this is. a key to the texture is very striking it makes a statement that says loudly and clearly this is the german school this is our identity the minute i entered and saw how open it was i was won over. the architecture expresses the open minded identity of the school. school. at the bauhaus the transparency of the architecture was coupled with a fresh open minded approach to education here that signalled by exposed concrete

glass and many of. the buildings each frame and in a courtyard together they form a honeycomb with me shoes for students to gather in. the skylights create a play of light and shade. just like you take your concept there are several key factors in the architectural concept that's very important to us as a school is that it expresses how the separate structures form an ensemble a community connected by the courtyards. knowledge classroom windows overlook the surrounding landscape and. we are very fortunate to have such a beautiful natural environment the greenery the colors it creates a peace and quiet a sense of longevity all of which is conducive to learning the lesson hides. perspective in the sticks and. today's society calls for

a new approach is to learning. which architecture can help consolidate. density i detect pollution form the architectural forms of the building and clearly have a structural aesthetic and artistic value citizen beer that was up to us it also has a very pragmatic well you know our teachers use it as a reference for lots of sketching and creative work with the students so it's also a source of inspiration as i'm bored it does inspire the year. that. the site this is shows how meaningful buildings can be and how the building help students

identify with their school. how do we want to live in the future this was the central question posed by the bauhaus 100 years later it's one that still being purchased. here for example. she cargo birthplace of the skyscraper a city that's always drawn architects from all over the world. the id institute of design was founded in 1037 as the new bauhaus taking up the mantle from the german school. today it focuses on what's called human centered design an approach that has little to do with architecture all furniture. instead it seeks to shake people's lived reality one focus of research is a project called recovery park in detroit michigan. there are more abandoned lots in the inner city here than anywhere else in the u.s.

. with the collapse of the auto industry in detroit the city went into decline unemployment is rife. in 2013 the city of detroit filed for bankruptcy. lease. detroit has lost 2 thirds of its population so we've gone from a city of course for 2000000 people to a city just hovering around 600000 we've done a lot of work with design thinking people out of chicago to really think about how to use land the fact of lee how to rebuild infrastructure in a different kind of way how to create the jobs. gary was a former drug addict he spent time in jail and after he was released struggled to

find work. his personal experience drove him to set up recovery park. it's an urban agricultural initiative that uses vacant land and provides jobs for over 20 people. for social mission is to create jobs for people with barriers to employment so people coming out of prison people struggling with you know disease of addiction people literacy issues. product unemployment issues we provide 100 percent health care for our employees we make sure that people have housing we make sure they have transportation to make sure they have clothing make sure they are food in their clabbered at home we provide all those things these people not only work here they can also learn a trade and evolution of the bow house ethos design has gone social. kevin harrison is training as

a god not. granted by the shop. was. and then goes off to the stores and feeds people in and says that you beautiful i love i love what i do. it really is like like the long start from the seed in the middle and all people this is beautiful for gary was in the recovery park is more than a job creation scheme for the socially and economically disadvantaged the enterprise is urban farm currently supplies 133 restaurants he hopes that recovery part will one day be the biggest urban agriculture business in the u.s. i still want to be the motor city because that's given us a worldwide brand but i also want to be known as a food so you also want to be known as a social impact so that. the social impact of architecture is also a central concern of birla in based architects juergen my aha his experimental utopias push the boundaries of what architecture can do often transgressing that

you have always found all. the i thought it was a texture today is confronted with a challenge design planning has to be innovative on several fronts. the 1st of course in terms of construction. materials and methods have paved the way for very different types of architecture so. seville for example we build something with laminated timber and probably your think it's now the biggest wood construction in the world like. the metropole parasol in seville spain has a maximum width of 150 meters over $3000.00 wooden parts are held together with glue initially there were doubts it would work. the high performing glue is a technical innovation the architect wants to expand the boundaries of the possible . his organic design has breathed new life into seville zx old course.

yogen maya ha has been called germany's greatest architectural hope since spouse house his designs would have been technologically unfeasible in battle house days using 3 d. modeling he can incorporate prefabricated elements without full fitting aesthetic value. he's currently working on a building for a university in berlin. we have my serious work there are building this very sculptural are made of in for lightweight concrete contains form glass gravel and clay aggregates to improve the concrete insulation capacity of the press or so we'll have a fossil free for some without falling star rains and additional insulation. it will be a very low maintenance building their bottoms are most holes. at the ballot house gropius also experimented with new forms and materials.

if he was still designing buildings perhaps they would look like you're going my a hoss sculptural but also practical. the bell house era is a thing of the past. as is the flurry of reconstruction and the abundance that mops the post-war years in the west. today's design experts must address the explosion of urban populations and the shortage of housing in times of dwindling resources. across was well house was very interested in sustainability in being economical with resources and materials we shouldn't forget that this was an era of rampant

poverty i mean see our armament site. the house never had any funds and the students had to be very thoughtful with the materials they worked with. thinking small that's at the heart of a social experiment underway on the grounds of the archive in berlin the tiny house university. the projects initiated is german architect. for 100 years ago about house reimagine the future i don't time when the system was changing from a monarchy to a democracy. back then no one knew exactly what democracy would look like with equal rights for all would look like what a home would look like if everyone had a right to their own kitchen filled with light and with about what would

a society in which everyone had access to education actually look like. today people are once again rethinking architecture and education from the ground up. these are all to their homes and this is where people can experiment fashion the question they'll be investigating is how can we revolutionize architecture and learning and it starts with small questions for example how can we use space without owning it. if it is that's where the idea of the tiny house comes in one which i find very charming and from a tiny house on wheels if it's on wheels and has a number plate it has the legal status of a car and a car doesn't need its own piece of land out. here and all that's caught in my system base is 6.4 square metres line that's not

much at all but when you look around it feels generous here he's a cool face there are really high windows and the ceilings are 3.6 metres high. is it time we reevaluated our standards could we learn to live in less than 7 square metres we could solve a lot of problems by downsizing. as i hear this is because it. all in tears this is the bathroom. yes this is a toilet a composting toilet and this is the shower. the modest within house is the result of an ambitious idea an affordable flexible and democratic living solution a house for digital nomads for people who don't need or want to be tied down they could set up home anywhere even a campsite. the modular tiny house is a most vile recyclable and easy to assemble.

just well a tiny house is to design a house is a movement that we're working for the good of society looking for answers to urgent problems such as hunger access to water energy migration those won't be solved on a campsite for years and years of. the world's population is expected to reach 10000000000 by 2050 new living solutions are urgently called for. the idea that we need to own as much as possible is very very deep inside us sell sell what want don't ask questions we've been doing that for 100 years now we need to rethink this we need to ask ourselves is constant consumption is doing us any good and i don't consume construct that's my motto i mean there's like a bunker. when

every inch of the earth has been built on well we need to find a new planet to colonize. interesting lee to get to mars the moon would be the stopping point so the moon makes mars possible. so norman foster one of the world's leading architects has already started exploring new frontiers. i've always been fascinated by space by flight by aircraft. lunar travel. lamar's project with grew out of a lunar project with the european space agency essentially you take robots out to models and the robots mix with an additive the

dust the red dust of models. and the robots learning from the bone structure of the new molds and humans create a shelf with the dust which is mixed with the attitude which is over an inflatable structure. forms does settlement would be built with the materials found on the surface of mounds transporting steel girders and concrete blocks into space obviously isn't an option. well of course that is science fiction so the things that i dreamt about and read about. as a as a young person are now reality but i think the whole space thing is in a way perhaps like the tallest building in the medieval cathedrals that reach for the heavens i think it's human nature i think is always striving trying to break

boundaries trying to stretch the limits of of human ingenuity to defy gravity. about house was all about visions of the future chancing new grounds and trusting in technology. today's world is global digital virtual and high tech colonizing other planets no longer sounds like such a crazy idea but do we really want to return to. life in an underground cave as off each other. i think the future of our planet is about trying. to 1st bring our own house in order and return our focus to the needs of the many perhaps powerhouse still has a lot to teach us. i think after 100 years the ideals of the boss are more relevant today than they were that we need design

ingenuity to tackle the big issues of our time rapid urbanize ations pollution climate change so essentially you're talking about the world out there on the streets parks bridges public transport all of that is designed for the bomb house was about design so it was a very optimistic a very utopian but down to earth view of design in the broadest sense. i'd like to think that what we do today as aki texas designers has been this is about the quality of the life and the passionate belief that if you improve that quality the quality of design will improve the quality of your life.

an idea that began with ballard house no one knows what tomorrow's well it's will look like but design will shape it and sustain it. if the only constant is change then design is going to go on for as long as human beings inhabit the planet and beyond the planet.
