MARCEL BREUER 1902 1981 ONE the FIRST MODERNIST ÇİSEM ATAK ZÜLAL İMRAN UYAR ARCHITECT MARCELBREUR FURNITURE DESIGNER Marcel Lajos Breuer Was Born in Hungary in 1902 FROM ’WHERE WE DO STAND ?’ HUNGRIAN ARCHITECT MARCEL BREUER 1902 1981 ONE THE FIRST MODERNIST ÇİSEM ATAK ZÜLAL İMRAN UYAR ARCHITECT BREUR MARCEL FURNITURE DESIGNER Marcel Lajos Breuer was born in Hungary in 1902. He was modernist, architect and one of the first furniture designer who used tubular steel for the first time. This success of designs and material usage made him one of the most important architects and designers of 20th century. In his early age, he started to search for right education of art training and then he went to Academy of Fine Arts Vienne in 1920 which gives the education through theory instead of practice. Due to this reason, he left the school and attended Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar, which he was one o of the first and youngest students. He studied with Johannes Itten preliminary course between 1920-1924. He was also one of the students of Walter Gropius at Carpentery Workshop.

When Expressionism started to spread in Weimar, it strongly affected the Carpentry workshops and they produced in traditional wood-working methods like the design of Marcel Breuer’s hand-carved African chair. We see the Expressionism affects on this chair as the composition of circles , squares and triangles with highly used color.

This cooperation brought novelty to workshops in the forms and materials of furnitures. Marcel Breuer was introduced the tubular steel as a new material and he designed the first tubular steel chair in the world in 1925-26.

During this time he was assigned by Walter Gropius to design the interior of a housing estate built for exhibition in Stuttgart. His second mission was the designing his first house for the Harnischmachers in Wiesbaden in 1932. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 9 In 1936 he moved to London because of the Nazis. During this time many refugees moved to Britain from Germany, Russia and that led the start of the Modernism Movement in Britain. For example; *Erick Mendolson cooprated with the Russian Refugee Serge Chermayeff. *Walter Gropius arrived one year later and he formed a partnership with Maxwell Fry. *Marcel Breuer also cooperated with Jack Prittchard at the Isokan Company. ISOKAN COMPANY Isokan Company is the large construction company which designs modernist houses and flat and furnitures for them. Isokan Company is one of the earliest proponenets of Modernism in the UK. During this time he produced his Long Chair with experimenting bent and plywood. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 10 FRANCIS REGINALD STEVENS YORKE After 1935 He started to teamed up with the English modernist F.R.S Yorke and they designed many modern houses in Britain. F.R.S. Yorke was known as English architect and author as a pioneer of modernism in Britain. In that early time of Modernism in Britain, he contacted and affected from many European architects and designers MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 11 ERICH MENDELSON Erich Mendelson ( 21 March 1887-15 September 1953) was a Jewish- German Architect. He is one of the refugees that moved to Britain because of the regime od Nazi’s and started the British Modernism in 1920’s.He is best-known for his Expressionist and Functionalist Aprroach to Architecture in his designs for Department Stores and Cinemas. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 12 SERGE CHERMAYEFF Serge Chermayeff was born into rich, Jewish family in Russia. He moved to England his early age and cooperated with Erich Mendelson. They created very important buildings for British Modernist Movement such as; De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, Cohen House, London, and Shrubs Wood (formerly Nimmo House) in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 13 EDWIN MAXWELL FRY Edwin Maxwell Fry ( 2 August 1899-3 September 1987) was English, modernist architect, painter and author who worked with remarkable modernists Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius Pierre Jeanneret. He worked for British Modernism in the land of British Empire in West Africa such Ghana, Nigeria. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 14 In 1937 Gropius became the head of Harvard Graduate School of Design and then Breuer followed is mentor to America then he joined the the Faculty in Cambridge, Massacchusetss. Gropius and Breuer ‘s work highly affected the style of American Modernist House. One of important design of cooperation is The Frank House in Pittsburg which Breuer worked for furniture design, Gropius worked as the architect of the house. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 15 'The landscape shows through the building… (But) I don’t think that the two need mix…‘’ Marcel Breuer Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer took their own paths and Breuer moved to New York to establish his own architectural office. Binuclear House concept of Marcel Breuer was firstly applied to The Geller House I in 1945. Binuclear House Concept is the form of the house that designed as 2 wings which one of them is used for living ,kitchen and dining area and the other is used as sleeping area. Those 2 wings connected with entrance topped with butterfly roof. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 16 Breuer kept designing houses and he designed 2 houses in New Canaan, Conneticut in 1947-48 other 1951-52. He also designed a demonstration house for MoMA’s garden ( Museum of Modern Art) in 1949. This exhibition attracted many people through Modernism and work of architects. Demonstration house in MoMA’s garden by Breuer MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 17 Breuer House I is located in Connecticut BREUER MARCEL 18 After those successful residential projects, he moved to larger projects and designed two important institutional buildings. One is UNESCO Headquarter in Paris in 1955 the other is Master Plan and Church at St. John’s Abbey in Minnesota in 1954. The success in both residential and social projects became a turning point of his career and the start of his widely using material, concrete. Breuer designed the Washington, D.C. headquarters building for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development which was completed in 1968. This design of him received many critics MARCEL BREUER MARCEL Whitney Museum of American Art, the Atlanta Public Library is also best-known projects of him. 19 UNESCO Headquarter in Paris in 1955 St. John’s Abbey in Minnesota in 1954. the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Whitney Museum of Atlanta Central Public American Art, New Library, Atlanta, Georgia, York, N.Y., (1964-1966, (1977-1980, with with Hamilton P.

Marcel Breuer Papers, BREUER MARCEL American Art archives, Washington, D.C. 20 He mainly critised for being repetitive. He answered those comments like that; "I can’t design a whole new system every Monday morning." MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 21 During his career-life he was affected from other achitects that we can see the clear influence of his wide-use of concrete from Le corbusier and one of the houses in New Canaan recall us Mies Van Der Rohe’s Barcelone Pavillion. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 22 ‘WHERE DO WE STAND?’ In April, 1935, an article which is the architectural review was written by Marcel Breuer for expantion of modernism in Britain and he emphasized the subject of Modern architecture. MARCEL BREUER MARCEL 23 ‘WHERE DO WE STAND?’ Marcel Breuer hesitates to use the words; ‘new’, ‘original’, ‘individual’, ‘imaginative’ and ‘revolutionary’ but instead leaving those words he brings new meaning for those words to explain New Movements and New Architecture. He refuses the usage of new and old in previous meanings because he says there is no connection between Modern Movement and new&old. It is more related with what is definite and real which can embody the form of solution and can be available for every various group of people. He says if we would have to use the word ‘new’ we can use it If it offers a solution for the problem that we currently facing and If we would prefer to use the word revolutionary which is striking and enticing to use for those times, it should turn the ideas to practice. Then we can use those words when we explain and make public the Modernism.

As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Computing Environmental Design1
    3 COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN1 Peder Anker ‘[S] urvival of mankind as we know it’ is at stake, and the ‘natural human ecology stands in jeopardy’. Serge Chermayeff’s plea for environmental conservation addressed the growing use of cars, as he thought everyone’s access to them resulted in a noisy ‘auto- anarchy’ with roads depredating the natural environment. ‘Personally, I observe these probabilities with profoundest melancholy’ in Cape Cod, he noted (Chermayeff 1960, 190, 193). The things affected by this predicament ranged from the privacy of his cottage, to the ecology of the neighbourhood, the social order of the Wellfleet community, and even the planning of the entire peninsula. Only a powerful computer could solve the complexity of the problem, Chermayeff thought. Through the lens of social history of design, I argue that the early history of computing in design established a managerial view of the natural world reflecting the interests of the well- educated, liberal elite. Chermayeff was part of a group of modernist designers with vacation homes on Cape Cod who nurtured political ties to the Kennedy family. Their community was fashioned around using the Wellfleet environment as a place for leisure and vacation, a lifestyle threatened by various local housing and road developments. In response they began promoting a national park to protect the area, and began pondering on finding new tools for proper environ- mental design that could protect their interests. The computer became their unifying tool for a multilayered approach to environmental planning, which saw nature as rational in character. It offered managerial distance and an imagined socio- political objectivity.

  • Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum
    1 Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum (by Hugh Grant, Founding Director and Curator, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art) Kirkland Museum’s decorative art collection contains more than 15,000 objects which have been chosen to demonstrate the major design styles from the later 19th century into the 21st century. About 3,500 design works are on view at any one time and many have been loaned to other organizations. We are recognized as having one of the most important international modernist collections displayed in any North American museum. Many of the designers listed below—but not all—have works in the Kirkland Museum collection. Each design movement is certainly a confirmation of human ingenuity, imagination and a triumph of the positive aspects of the human spirit. Arts & Crafts, International 1860–c. 1918; American 1876–early 1920s Arts & Crafts can be seen as the first modernistic design style to break with Victorian and other fashionable styles of the time, beginning in the 1860s in England and specifically dating to the Red House of 1860 of William Morris (1834–1896). Arts & Crafts is a philosophy as much as a design style or movement, stemming from its application by William Morris and others who were influenced, to one degree or another, by the writings of John Ruskin and A. W. N. Pugin. In a reaction against the mass production of cheap, badly- designed, machine-made goods, and its demeaning treatment of workers, Morris and others championed hand- made craftsmanship with quality materials done in supportive communes—which were seen as a revival of the medieval guilds and a return to artisan workshops.

  • The Road to Swiss International Design the Road to Swiss International Design
    The Road to Swiss International Design The Road to Swiss International Design Examples of Victorian Advertising The Road to Swiss International Design Swiss International Style was in the “works” for a long time. A variety of historic events factored into the development of this international style, they are: Futurism, De Stijl, Constructivism, The Bauhaus, The School of Design Basel Futurism In 1909, Italian writer, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti founded Futurism with the publication of his Manifesto of Futurism. The Futurist Manifesto was read and debated all across Europe. Futurism as a revolutionary movement in which all the arts were to text their ideas and forms against the new realities of scientific and indus- trial society. The manifesto voiced enthusiasm for war, the machine age, speed, and modern life. Marinetti and his follows produced an explosive and emotionally charged poetry that defied correct syntax and grammar. Right: Sound Poem by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti The Road to Swiss International Design Suprematism 1915 The term implied the su- premacy of this new art in relation to the past. Malevich saw it as purely aesthetic and concerned only with form, free from any political or social meaning. He stressed the purity of shape, particularly of the square, and he regarded Suprematism as primar- ily an exploration of visual language comparable to contemporary developments in writing. KazmirI Malevich The Road to Swiss International Design Suprematist painting comprised abstract coloured shapes set against light grounds in order to convey feel- ings of ascending, floating, and falling, a visual vocabulary that was subsequently ap- plied to theatre settings and costumes, ceramics, street propaganda, and architecture.

  • Art & Architecture Design Cultural Studies
    ART & ARCHITECTURE DESIGN CULTURAL STUDIES NEW AND RECENT TITLES THE MIT PRESS Muriel Cooper David Reinfurt and Robert Wiesenberger Foreword by Lisa Strausfeld Afterword by Nicholas Negroponte Muriel Cooper (1925–1994) was the pioneering designer who created the iconic MIT Press colophon (or logo)— seven bars that represent the lowercase letters “mitp” as abstracted books on a shelf. She designed a modernist monument, the encyclopedic volume The Bauhaus (1969), and the graphically dazzling and controversial first edition of Learning from Las Vegas (1972). She used an offset press as an artistic tool, worked with a large-format Polaroid camera, and had an early vision of e-books. Cooper was the first design director of the MIT Press, the cofounder of the Vis- ible Language Workshop at MIT, and the first woman to be granted tenure at MIT’s Media Lab, where she developed software interfaces and taught a new generation of design- ers. She began her four-decade career at MIT by designing vibrant printed flyers for the Office of Publications; her final projects were digital. This lavishly illustrated volume documents Cooper’s career in abundant detail, with prints, sketches, book covers, posters, mechanicals, student projects, and photographs, from her work in design, teaching, and research at MIT. A humanist among scientists, Cooper embraced dynamism, simultaneity, transparency, and expressiveness across all the media she worked in. More than two decades after her career came to a premature end, Muriel Cooper’s legacy is still unfolding. This beautiful slip-cased volume, designed by Yasuyo Iguchi, looks back at a body of work that is as contemporary now as it was when Cooper was experimenting with IBM Selectric typewriters.
