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. What became of the battle has utopia and the principle that good design can improve peoples lives. In the early 1960 s. Vantage all p. S.

As a day 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 americas major cities theres a lot of room for improvement in housing and infrastructure. Many urban planners that would agree with the bauhaus principle that architects bat as social responsibility. Is still only. Mostly our work as architects and urban planners is about people. People matter to carry. An urban planner from meddling in colombia a city where infrastructure problems have long loomed large. Plane. Traffic clogs the streets unschooling for veils define the cityscape. Its nearly impossible for buses to pass through these narrow steep streets. Of place but then the city has an idea. Today 6 outdoor escalate has extend 384 metres up the hillside now the 140000 residents of community tressa one of the citys poorest neighborhoods no longer need to make the climb by foot. Jayco because stan a is well aware of how the escalators have affected the district. Im 33 and ive 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 tours of the areas best graffiti. In the past few visitors would have dead to venture into comune that reputed to be the most dangerous neighborhood of whats often called the worlds most dangerous city. Theres more to the many friends of mine lost their lives many neighbors lots of people just disappear it happened a lot around here over the school. Improving peoples lives this was the vision of bow house today that vision also encompasses Infrastructure Projects like these help dont escalate his. Forces but hes got a escalators themselves on even the point the point is what theyve been lifting people in the sense of community. Theyve created a sense of belonging happiness and pride in the neighborhood. Mother of 3 for more than 30 families with small shops live near the escalators so thanks to the escalators local businesses are doing much better and better because someone you know that obviously loves every bit of it. Well that goes 00000000 i thought oh yeah its them real. These days consuelo gussie is shop is trying. Times used to be tough. Right getting around used to be much harder. Than summer it was very hard terrible music is in the roads werent paved. No no they werent we had streets of mud you out it would be a mud. But there were lots of houses here back then werent there. Yes many will make a voyage i wouldnt have ones thats right is not what i thought it was a narrow path a steep slope sometimes there be water gushing down it. It was a narrow sunken footpath yeah. The escalators and the cable cars on the other side of the city that connected to the fed nameless have attracted international attention. Into sounds inserting many misnamed the worlds most innovative city. To tell us who that big hasnt. Sure its a beautiful city very photogenic very friendly but there is more than one narrative of whats happened here. Infrastructure projects were designed to improve public transport like the cable cars but the alter your motive was to sell the city the city has rebranded itself. In doing so it hasnt always put its residents needs front and center a further cable car line is under development. Based together with other Infrastructure Projects has put some 600. 00 families at risk of losing their homes. But it is the city for tourists or for those who live here. Urban planners like carolyn do what they can to ensure its 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 1039 former bow house director harness meyer received an invitation. He became head of the new institute for urban planning in mexico city. 7500 mile there arent many buildings by meyer he spent 10 years in mexico but we dont have a single one. Nevertheless harness my influence an entire generation of mexican architects say it will negatively influence them 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. Has been a major influence on me im sure that hundreds meyer had a big effect on him. But its fun we got an. Architect there bilbao is interested in social housing. Less doesnt the levee. Situation in mexico is very difficult theres 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. Im interested in the structure and my idea was to design the structure for a house that could be extended to become larger than 43 square meters because thats just too small but i mean we wanted a flexible design that could respond to different needs and climate conditions thats one thats expandable he said must see what that means but. Shes designed a flexible prototype. For a house that can be easily reproduced much like. Houses indes out its 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 homes are a progressive and creative solution to the countrys housing shortage. They were there for a matter. Maybe its naive entering the idea that architects have the potential to make a difference that with. No premier that i believe we did. In the 4th to me the most is a vision of the future it demonstrated what architects can do to help people in their lives. So they will mask it and went back that its in the receiver that identify most with the movement. In miami and. How this maya spent 10 years in mexico. At a time when its left wing government was introducing sweeping social reforms. To this have not is that the new york attacks here insisted that architecture was an art form. And nobody and. There were resistant to harness myras hardly rationalist approach. So what did meyer accomplish for this a project he planned to build units on every corner. Thats your list yes laughs we dont have a single building here in mexico city but he actually designed all stories theyve made you but we do have many buildings that are a testament to his influence in syria.

Silence 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 its really useful at nights when its pitch dark in my village.

There were few materials to work with for example so she began using natural materials like pasture grass shrugs eucalyptus and shoot them implement the illicit shed leave them together with industrial materials just as we did with you cuttack pick. Every day design thats a hybrid of handmade and high tech is this the utopian vision of the ballot how soon action the both houses the press and theres a strong bow 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 its exactly what they were aiming for when they established the bauhaus house and. The melamine to. Learn from them really you dont see the influence of an actual product any more of those a lot of time is past. 100 years thats a long time.

Bow house 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 and downs 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 openminded identity of the 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.

Density cornish inform the architectural forms of the building and clearly have a structural aesthetic and artistic value citizen via 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 its also a source of inspiration as im bored it does inspire the year. That i. Am. Here 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 its one that still being post. Here for example. She cargo birthplace of the skyscraper a city thats always drawn architects from all over the world. The id institute of design was founded in 1037 as the new powerhouse taking up the mantle from the German School. Today it focuses on whats called human centered design an approach that has little to do with architecture or furniture. Instead it seeks to shake peoples lived reality one focus of research is a project called recovery park in detroit michigan.
