I'm an architect and this really inspire me. I learned so much about Bauhaus from these documentaries than my years in college. The best documentary series so far.
It inspired me immensely as well. I study interior architecture and design, I will try to incorporate a lot of these enlightening insights and philosophies into my design process and mentality.
Hopefully neither of you unoriginal reds will never be hired and we can get back to building places people want to live.Andy Warhol summed Bauhaus best. Ultimately it’s an aluminum shed.
Kudos to Lydia Ranke and her team for bring this fascinating document together, threading through a century of Bauhaus. For me, Bauhaus was simply a miracle made possible by the unique collaboration between the leading artists and designers of that period in history when revolutions were born and raised. The universal applicability of the ideas bears testimony to the genius of the initiators. I deeply appreciate how the authors re-establish the idea of better design for better life through norman foster in the end. I live in Bangladesh, where there is the distinction between the artist and artisans, yet crafts are still in vogue, incredible artisans apply centuries old techniques and methods to new products. Crafts other than those in the textile sector are on the wane. Many artists work closely with artisans and produce fantastic products. Wondering whether a new Bauhaus could be opened here!
I loved the addition of tiny house movement in the end....I love tiny homes as they r extremely economical and helps us focus on what we really need and not just over and unnecessary consumption..... Bauhaus concept with some natural tint to it is best..
Pointless. Either buy a normal house, or live in a apartment. I prefer an apartment in a house with good sound insulation in a large city with good public transportation.
The document represents a very simplistic explanation of what the Bauhaus was and is today. From the beginning, it was an ideological movement starting with Itten's very radical approach, continuing for example with Meyer embracing communism. Concerning architecture for people, there was not only the Bauhaus but also, for example, CIAM - a modernist movement that spread around the world, in which Gropius was only one of the founding members and he and other people involved in Gropiusstadt design were definitely more influenced by CIAM than by the Bauhaus. Also in the previous part of this document about Dieter Rams - he was not influenced only by the Bauhaus but by modernism in general and mainly by industrial designer Peter Behrens (who directly influenced both Gropius and Mies). The project in Mexico is nice and very important but it is most probably influenced more by Alejandro Aravena and his social housing projects in Chile than by the Bauhaus (I personally doubt that the Bauhaus ever thought about the possibility of house expansion by homeowners). The Bauhaus reference gives Tatiana Bilbao a historical framework but I do not believe that there is a deep understanding of the Bauhaus original ideas that would be reflected in her design. However, I still appreciate this document. It was nice to watch it and think about all these simplifications - one had to explore and examine what had been already stored in one's head.
Brilliant series, very thought provoking. I've been thinking about these questions from the African context I'm glad I'm not alone. There are several ideas presented here that immediately cause me to want to know much much more. More please DW
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
The Bauhaus movement has a future in more ways than we could possibly think. For example, universal, free 'tiny house plans' approved by city authorities for pockets of contested land in major cities around the world.
The Bauhaus was so close to the Zen principle of Simplicity. We need this approach now more than ever. The planet can’t sustain complex designs in any field; and our brains are so overloaded, we need to simplify our environments. I loved Braun products as a kid - they were so elegant and honest in their designs. The essence of Simplicity, nothing added, nothing wasted. Jonny Ive and Steve Jobs had continued that legacy at Apple.
great series, but completely avoiding the racist history of bauhaus is not honest. some of the founders have created great designs, but standards found in the works like Itten's "White Man's House" were also extremely impactful- in a negative way.
Life is sample and that is on Earth. Yet man makes it hard. Not being wasteful but manageable. If you can't manage what is in your reach, how are you going to manage a place that is not human friendly. Thanks to the small house concept.
Why do I feel these documentaries, end up being advertising for the interviewed architects???? 50% of the documentary, is not strictly about the Bauhaus.
This is for all the Americans here: Please don’t talk about housing and architecture. Most of you live in weird houses, made of wood and the interior is designed without any taste haha
swabian menace Its an adaptation. There’s a limited supply of marble and wealth and space. The future is diverse solutions to these problems. I think they over amplify Bauhaus and it’s impact but the core concept of sustainable human design is important
Those apartments look like something you'd find in the hood in the U.S. They remind me of the Robert Taylor Homes, or Cabrini Green in Chicago. These were some of the worse most dangerous areas in the city. Not the best representation of Bauhaus.
Tiny houses are not for everyone: you can't have and raise a family there. You can barely have a partner on 7 sq meters. Older people won't find climbing the steep stairs very useful due to safety issues. So it's mainly for very young and single (or solitary) people. Plus I think the claustrophobic vibe would affect any person sooner or later. This is not a very good idea, it doesn't solve the housing problems at all. Is that any different from trailer houses in the USA, which are very problematic? I don't think so.
One can easily recognize how outdated all the philosophy of contemporary architecture is by no mentioning the discriminations of children, elderly, disabled and pregnant women. there all barriers of all sorts in new designes. blind people or ppl even with sight problems have problems in modern buildings. elderly who use wheelchair, walker have problems, small doorframes, steps everywhere, very heavy doors which are not really user friendly if one has a walker or sits in wheelchair , the homecare nurses cant use lifters in bathrooms, since bathrooms are so tiny that no lifter fits in, also a second person/ a nurse cant get in to help. the bathrooms have barriers, patients like the elderly cant use bathrooms, and the disabled ppl too. corrdors, floor entrances, doorframes, bathrooms, kitchens are always too small designed. big buildings arent social friendly, mostly too anonymous and gangs can form easily mobs to abuse their power, the buildings arent family friendly, mothers and fathers cant communicate with their children if they are outside, bc they are in the higher floors. the society is globally getting older, which come with illnesses and disabilities , architects, politicians must build all buildings,including publich transit accessible for all people in all age to reduce cost bc if ppl can not be independend and can not take care of themselves as long as they could with all the aid provided, it will become much more costly for everyone. also, no one wants to hear this, but it needs to be adressed sooner or later. the world population grows, in general it grows, even with wars and stagnations in some countries. the resourses for water, arable landsize shrink rapidly. for the sake and dignity of the coming children and generation, the world needs global family planing, birth rate monitoring, free contraceptive for girls and women, who have least say about their bodies. girls need global free education, no payment for schooluniforms like in many countries , getting rid of the unnecessary uniforms is a start for the girls. childbride needs to be really punished bc it is still happening.
Hi @richiesworld1, Everyone is entitled to their opinion. We're glad that you still managed to enjoy the documentary. Thanks for watching! Best, The DW Documentary Team
Truly the worst crime German Communists committed against the world was the Bauhaus movement. A society of dirty crumbling cement, and trashy aluminum. The only type of building that is improved by graffiti and vandalism. An insult to the human spirit.
100 years of lunacy. Now that we have hindsight and evidence based research can we quit the play acting? It’s horrible architecture. Hope everyone wakes up from this nightmare soon!!!!

Watched all 3 episodes, discovered I have so much more to learn as a designer.
I think even this documentary was written, filmed, directed, edited etc. in Bauhausain style ... Well done DW! Very interesting and enjoyable.

That orange elevator bridge in the middle of Medellin is a breath of fresh work both metaphorically and literally - beautiful design solution.

This series was wonderful, but this last one was so inspirational, especially Amor Muñoz's work with technology. Thanks DW ♥️♥️♥️
Highly informative creative and well delivered
Great upload. Cheers
Great documentary.
Congrats, DW!
Who does the research for these documentaries by DW?, I am so in love with their level in clarity.
architects do make a difference

I was waiting for 3/3! Super interesting! Vielen Dank!
What us up with these fightclub inserts and cuts , it is very counter to the feel of the rest of the documentary
Thank you DW for this informative, inspiring, beautiful bauhausWORLD series. I enjoyed every minute of it.
The Bauhaus movement has a future in more ways than we could possibly think. For example, universal, free 'tiny house plans' approved by city authorities for pockets of contested land in major cities around the world.
Please do more documentary like this which challenges our out of date views on living
just brilliant how the movement has influenced buildings all over the world....those elevators in the village were amazing....
Extraordinary dinner for my soul, I love this documentary
Great to feel some positivity again. Thank you!

I am not Bauhaus friendly but i like how you backed up this documentary with context 😀
Thank you!
Bauhaus World - The Utopia is a remarkable documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!

Please, tell me if i can show this videos in Siberian Design Centre, Tomsk, to our students and guests? What about rights?

Ya, I love tiny houses...u can be where ever u want and that to just in so very low costs..

Chill with the ads bruh

You preached 😬😂
Thanks for your broad, sweeping generalizations. You obviously have not actually been in America.
@@markp3329 It was a joke, Mark. I’ve been in the states a few times, the housing quality is quite poor though. It is what it is
This sort of architecture is an insult to the majestic buildings our forefathers put up
I know right, like the pyramids!

What about Victorian terraced houses?Look good,affordable and have loads of space

Loved parts 1 and 2. 3 not so much.
any idea why? social projects are not so interesting as high design?
Who could ever think an existence on Mars would really be a life?
No Max Bill, pfff🤷🏽♂️
NICE
This school was the cancer of architecture. All examples were major failures or, at best, a nice try.
Design a New City
Old cities are bad design
They are rotting insane prisons

Medellin the world's most dangerous city? Seriously out of date.
I like Bauhaus but I find DW documentaries a in general a bit bland.
Homo Sapiens is a truly amazing species.
Yes! And not meant to live in cement blocks fragmented from others!!! Bauhaus believing in evolutionary psychology??? Hahahahaa
#Bauhaus is nothing compared to #TheDome @ralphTCM creator of #Mondovisione @ralphtcm to build our #Future for a #BetterWorld
Wonderful clip, captivating the anthropocentric focus, with absolute disregard of a biocentric possibility.
Nature an absolute nothingness.
GO FR. MOTOR C. TO MOTIVE C.
Favelas are more beautiful than Bauhaus. I hope those urban planners never accomplish their "utopian" vision

I generally find Bauhaus style ugly and devoid of personality, but great documentary nonetheless 👍🏾

Awful houses, not even one decent
