You know what team if holistic aesthetic that. Free thinking. Honest revolutionary values radical fast. Sherman that is about house. After one hundred years the ideals of the bar house are more relevant today than they were than the spa holes for one hundred years ago about house reimagine the future under the view that how we learn how do we learn to shoot both house and back the bo house influence is everywhere those guns are set out to formulate a language of design that was universal. As alice in that everything has an ideal high its an ideal size and thats what up to my eyes is its utility but not in their in they want this kind of push to go out from wherever your proper manner of your design or worldview everywhere where youre an artist. Bound house is a legend the british 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 bow house doctrine around the world. So can we still feel the bow house effect today. Serial production of the. Goods was a cornerstone of that thou house vision a partnership between design and industry. At the furniture retailer ikea that vision seems to have become reality. If a god knows exactly what consumers want. How can you have your first home your first bed your first so far your first desk actually accessible at a price that you can afford that. Affordability is the linchpin of the companys business model. Ikea was founded in one nine hundred forty three generations of grown up with its designs. So its like here the bow house of today is it exactly what bauhaus found. Visit a century ago. We have a tone of that because of democratic design and the five dimensions starting with form a connection to our house us we are talking about today its of course that form follows function to be at a good quality for what its intended use we work very heavily with sustainability and well take all of those for to go the way of a low price thats when you have a typical ikea product. The five 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 first 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 the Bell House School was eventually forced to move relocated to desks out which proved a far better fit. Boy no. I didnt what about house and in one thousand nine hundred five gropius had to look for an alternative site decile seem 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 are so common at the time in 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. Does pass here and in total bauhaus partner here and 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 one thousand nine hundred twenty eight tired of facing constant hostility directed by a take or p. S. Appointed a successor with swiss architect hannah smy at the helm the bow house focused even more heavily on industry and also became more political. I wish the honey smile moved the bauhaus in a very socialist direction communist even. In the extremely productive two years that he was director this played a major role which was very different from the copious era. 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 voted 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 First World War by nine hundred twenty two or nine hundred twenty three at the latest everyone was excited 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. Nike is the ultimate goal is no different just like the bauhaus 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 i kid the many are first 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 balance philosophy to todays consumer society. And a smile was the bell house director for just two years. As in nine hundred thirty 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 Second World War tour germany into two weimar and death south ended up in communist east germany. Holds up 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 but it was rejected as a bushel institution. As i knew. The star wars that was the attitude until well after the death of stalin basically until the early one nine hundred sixty s. And the rise of architectural functionalism when urban planners began erecting prefab houses in the states on the outskirts of cities also hope they are vox lunch that at some 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 bedard looks are spread out of the needs of the people instead of the need for luxury. Today valhalla designed products are expensive only the well off can afford them. Such as vilhelm vatten fads table lamp its now a classic. Vartan for knowledge the cost of it if your hand up to the vatican fell table lamp cost around four hundred euros. And recouped and was thats because it was designed and manufactured at the Bauhaus School before Cereal Production had really taken off the park topped. The heights even at the time the falcon felled lamp was so. That it didnt sell very well. Thats. For coffin soko. Without Series Production in the vatican fed 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 one nine hundred twenty s. Moments founding director alfred barr helped introduce an americans to the bounce. Swiss born martino sheerly is moments 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 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 arts nonhierarchical koonce the bar took these principles these basic concepts and work them into the founding structure of the museum of modern art museum of modern art the effect. That spamhaus serves as the foundation of one of the worlds foremost collections. The bom house stands for a very particular aesthetic but at the same time the bauhaus is quite a vague. Before and anything that counters modern this design 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 youve really made it onto a market. Where a liberal has worked. Virus sorrow it spreads it spreads more quickly than you realize what if nothing is interesting ever happened at the house but they had an amazing purpose the 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 its not about industrialization its not about clarity in the machine age and so on groceries hes a hardcore expressionist at the beginning of brown house moments he becomes a kind of a manager is a management culture of the spirit we are surrounded here virally the effects of this virus and were 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 catch old label devoid of real substance.

So if you see these days you dont see many elements like these in houses anymore cubist lot has become very popular again theres lots of new houses and theyre very nice but back then they put a lot more thought into what it would actually be like to live in these houses or live in them holes and undermine holes usually architects take cues from their clients but here the owners took their cues from bauhaus inspired furnishings in the late one nine hundred twenty s.
