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 im a rerun of god knows exactly what consumers want. How can you have your 1st home and your 1st bed your 1st so fire your 1st desk actually accessible at a price that you can afford that. Affordability is the linchpin of the companys business model. I keel was founded in 1943 generations of grown up with its designs. So its like here the bow house of today is it exactly what bauhaus found. A century ago. We have a tone of that because of democratic design and that 5 dimensions starting with form a connection to our house us we are talking about today its of course that form follows function to be a good quality for what its intended use we work very heavily with sustainability and we take all of those for together with a low price thats when you have a typical ikea product. The 5 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. Weimar was a conservative place and the Bauhaus School was eventually forced to move relocated to death south which proved a far better if it. Didnt want to buy a house and in 1905 gropius her to look for an alternative site. Seems 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 women at the time in the region were similar to Silicon Valley today if you will. In deaths out the school joined forces with a number of Industrial Partners inspired by Series Production the battle house began exploring synergies between arts. Technology. Had just passed and in total bauhaus partner here and death are with thousands of firms to work on various projects both large and small there were very close ties between the school and industry lots of people commissioned the bow hausers 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 directive attack or p. S. Appointed a successor with swiss architect tanous my at the helm the balance focused even more heavily on industry and also became more political. On this my own hut on the shot her a 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 gropius era the board. Hoped. The bell 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. I added about mechanization and Industrial Production. Side while there was a consensus that in the postwar era people should be 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 was down these young. Kids ultimate goal is no different just like the bounce house the retailer sees itself as a kind of low bar a tree for a better every day life. We want to create a better everyday life for the many question 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 ikea the many are 1st and foremost consumers ultimately it wants to sell products the bell house effect is unmistakable ikeas democratic design is by definition mass produced the retailer has adapted the core bauhaus philosophy to todays consumer society. And a smile was the bow house director for just 2 years in 1930 the town council dismissed him for communist sympathies. And long 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 myrons desks 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 bourgeois institution. As i knew. The stuff that was the and. They chewed until well after the death of stalin basically until the early 1960 s. And the rise of architectural functionalism was when urban planners began erecting prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities also hope they are of oxen and that at some point down house was reevaluated and once again seen as a good thing pulls it if the same. As legacy was politicized design and the famous slogan folks bedard looks daft the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. Today ballet house designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them. Such as vilhelm vatten fads table lamp its now a classic. Voting for acknowledged across the pond if youre headed up to the vatican felt table land costs around 400. 00 euros. And recruit and waffle thats because it was designed and manufactured at the bow school before Cereal Production had really taken off the park topped. The heights even at the time the infeld lamp was so expensive that it didnt sell very well. Thats. The hottest and the hope for coffins of course. Without Series Production the vulcan fad 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.

Swiss born martino sheerly is no most chief curator of architecture and design of god 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 art nonhierarchical coons the. 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 worlds foremost collections. The baja stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague. Before. Anything that counters modern is designed in the broadest sense very quickly finds itself being described as bauhaus in a rather reductive fashion. Its also a way of signaling your own stylistic preferences perhaps thats problematic but of course its also symptomatic of an extraordinary success if you become a brand you really made it to a mark of the. World around housework. Virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing is interesting ever happened at the barrel house but they had an amazing publicity machinery books magazines personalities but was this all just kind of creating a kind of cult so maybe brown house is not about rationality is not about industrialization its not about clarity in the machine age and song gropius hes a hardcore expressionist at the beginning of brown house moments he becomes a kind of a manager is a management culture 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. Critic monthly lives in new york but finds the glass and steel oppressive. Has the name battle house city become a cat chill label devoid of real substance. Found a house is now a brand instantly recognizable. Thats why its such an enduring favorite. Especially for connoisseurs of design and architecture like the ellis.

Go beyond us holes i can be sure 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 them sounds interesting lets take a look in fun. What the elders 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.

His and dark force boy resistant the eaves and the ledges under the windows so that sunlight refracts below the windows and theres never any of the wrecked sunlight in the rooms wished for orders of the new directors on installed on the level nothing to charge. Everything has been meticulously thought through its absolutely fascinating if you cant help but be seduced and you have to give it to hats off respect of respect. So you can see these days you dont see many elements like these in houses anymore the cube is little can become very popular again theres lots of new houses and theyre very nice but back then they put a lot more forth into what it would actually be like to live in these houses or live in them holes and under my whole was usually architects take cues from their clients but here the owners took their cues from bauhaus inspired furnishings in the late 1920 s.

And hes a matching items of garden furniture not only comfortable and also look amazing on lots of tubular steel that is why its very sleek is issue least the couple had previously only been familiar with broyard the furniture designer but now theyve inadvertently become guardians of his architectural legacy in berlin environment. So we went to lend to find sound good times already started to bounce from also fish. If you lose 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 most house. Strikes you is that the functional remains face north and the rooms you actually spend time and face. 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 inviolate im kind. Of home. Frank gehry. And many other contemporary architects have left. To museum direct peace architecture and design essential to the Human Experience design is an issue i dont have time to. Design is basically a way of solving a problem thats probably an opportunity to tackle everyday problems with Creative Ideas those kinds of mechanisms of furniture of those kinds of but it can also involve processes and social situation its of possession is much more to design than making products few is no object to.

I do 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 lets figure out the dimensions of the human body its a system to take care of that body soon its like lets make a new body lets make architecture in front of equipment that shapes a new film and then its like lets make a superhuman. You could never imagine that such an obsessive thing from a straightforward person. Hes talking about meis found at all as secret building a steel skeleton framed tower featuring dark glass and bronze beams built in the late 1950 s.

Designed by hunters. 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. As fossil it was for all social classes merchants shoemakers metalworkers just think of how most people lived in berlin in the 1920 s. And thirtys and look how light this apartment is imagine how it must have felt to people with low incomes it was sensational and just for me. And plastered brick expose lintels made of reinforced concrete a statically harness meyers design mark to break from battle house conventions one of the standout features is the commune old walkway.
