  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

ABSTRACT The Bauhaus, one of the most prestigious colleges of fine arts, was founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius. Although it is closed in the last century, its influence is still manifested in design industries now and will continue to spread its principles to designers and artists. Even, it has a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, fashion design and design education. Up until now, Bauhaus ideal has al- ways been a controversial focus that plays a crucial role in the field of design. Not only emphasizing function but also reflecting the human-oriented idea could be the greatest progress on modern design and manufacturing. Even more, harmonizing the relationship between nature and human is the ultimate goal for all the designers to create their artworks. This essay will analyze Bauhaus’s influence on modern design and manufacturing in terms of technology, architecture and design education.

  • Bauhaus Houses and the Design Canon: 1923-2019
    Bauhaus Houses and the Design Canon: 1923-2019 Jeremy Aynsley Introduction The focus of this paper is issues central to the reconstruction and display of iconic Modernist houses and how such issues complexify our understanding of the canonical reputation of the Bauhaus. Like the De Stijl movement, the Bauhaus can expect to receive much renewed media and scholarly attention as its centenary year of 2019 approaches. And like De Stijl, it holds pre-eminence in design history as a point when new theories and roles for design were realised by a remarkable set of actors. For its relatively short life of 14 years as a school in Germany, fol- lowed by the Chicago years, the Bauhaus has sustained what might be considered to be a disproportionate amount of attention. Indeed, arguably, its short life adds neatness to applying a narrative that suits re-telling and mythification. By applying the term ‘canon’ to design, we can assume this involves a select set of figures, objects and movements that claim official status, receiving scholarly atten- tion and entering museums and galleries. To do so, they conform to and meet certain criteria. As we know, critical theory, feminism, race theory and post-Marxism have all offered means of critique of the canon, questioning the basis on which it privileges certain histories – at worst, ‘dead white men’ or in the case of the Bauhaus, a site of high conservative modernism. Accordingly, in recent years, revisions in Bauhaus scholarship have also taken place, whether through questioning gender relations and roles at the school, challenging fundamental principles such as functionalism and universalism, or considering its diaspora of influence in a post-colonial context.1 Before turning to the houses of my focus today, it is perhaps worth teasing out the structures that have been central for the construction of the Bauhaus within the design historical canon: 1 Examples include Philipp Ostwalt (ed.), Bauhaus Conficts, 1919-2009: Controversies and Counterparts, Ostfildern (Hatje Cantz) 2009 and Bauhaus.

  • How We Celebrate International Women's Day in Bauhausland
    How we celebrate International Women’s Day in BauhausLand Women in the Bauhaus movement: Discover who they were and what they did When an exhibition by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers opened in London recently, art critics gave the show five stars. Albers’ textiles, wall-hangings and “pictorial weavings” were a revelation. But she was not the only female artist in the Bauhaus. Now, as the world marks the 100th birthday of this revolutionary design movement, the contributions of its women designers are in the spot- light. In BauhausLand (the German federal states of Thuringia and Saxony- Anhalt), women, such as Albers, Gertrud Arndt and Marianne Brandt are being celebrated. And, a couple of hours to the north, Berlin, another Bauhaus hotspot, has declared International Women's Day (March 8) to be an official public holiday. Anni Albers: Master of Textiles When Walter Gropius created the Bauhaus school in Weimar in 1919, every- one was welcome “without regard to age or sex.” In fact, more women than men applied! Anni Albers studied weaving and went on to be a brilliant and influential textile designer. After fleeing Germany, she based herself at Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. Gunta Stölzl: Designer, teacher and producer Albers had studied under Gunta Stölzl. She was the head of the Bauhaus weaving department and one of only six women in the 45-strong faculty. Stölzl transformed her students into a full-on, professional, industrial design unit. For example, they designed and wove the blankets for the beds in Dessau’s stu- dent dorm. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has a fine collection of Stölzl’s textiles.

  • From Gothic to Bauhaus: a Lineage for Modern Curtain Wall Façade Construction
    From Gothic to Bauhaus: A Lineage for Modern Curtain Wall Façade Construction Hannah Rushton1, Guy Marriage2 and Marc Aurel Schnabel3 1, 2,3Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand {Hannah.Rushton, Guy.Marriage, Marcaurel.Schnabel}@vuw.ac.nz Abstract: From the craft production of the Gothic to the standardised industrial production of the Bauhaus, this research follows the development of modern architecture and the evolution of façade construction. This paper examines how, as technology has continued to advance and modes of production have evolved, complete dematerialisation – defined in this paper as a non-structural glass exterior walls – of the façade was achieved with the curtain wall. This research aimed to establish a link between Gothic and Bauhaus architecture to propose a lineage for modern curtain wall façade production and construction. The paper argues that changing modes of production is in response to construction issues, technological innovation and are dependent on the socio-cultural context of a specific time. Presenting a lineage that places this evolution into three stages – pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial – the relationship of architecture, technology and how construction methods respond to new technology will be illustrated. This paper will examine the curtain wall’s arrival in New Zealand as a case study for the international dissemination of this system, to conclude with a discussion that outlines how the architecture of a post-industrial age both favours and can produce customised and complex façades. Keywords: Architectural History; Façade Construction; Dematerialisation; Industrialisation. 1. Introduction Historically, artistic hierarchies and changing socio-cultural contexts determined who designed buildings. This role shifted between the artist, craftsman, and architect (Rannells, 1949; Harvey, 1950).
