Architecture, art and design - 100 years of the Bauhaus (2/3) | DW Documentary

worst architecture style ever made by humans through all history.

Does it say "white" in the beginning when describing what bauhaus is? or am I just hearing that?

Bauhaus saved Tel-aviv by design.

The Bauhaus is very strong force for the 21st century.

G=d bless me with you. You make me feel brand new.

If you want to get dangerous' I've Joseph. He's my cat.

Bauhaus is alive and well in Chicago along with Bonn. Not to mention Tel-Aviv.

The Bauhaus people didn’t invent anything… they discovered it.

Bauhaus seemed very disgusting to me at first. My childhood was spent in the Soviet Union, and I saw everywhere buildings created in a similar style - only they were not white, like in Tel Aviv, but gray and dirty. This thick, clumsy concrete with peeling plaster, huge glass windows that were rarely washed because they were very difficult to wash... Unthought-out pompous structures, corners in which only drunkards are comfortable to defecate... The style of a school canteen, a factory, pioneer camp... Instead, I wanted coziness, cleanliness, something not state-owned. Then came the understanding that in the Soviet Union this style was simply distorted.

Many creative people fall into life as it comes instead of following their urges to create and design. It would be something to explore as a student or intern before the bills start rolling in from modern life. I’ve always admired people that have been able to make a life, a career, out of creative energy.

Mark Wigley is off base regarding iPhone being a Bauhaus product. Well, maybe the later ones. But early iPhones and iMacs and iOS itself were full of skeuomorphic elements, which to me are anti-Bauhaus, they are non-functional, they are there for the looks, and the looks was gaudy to me, I have always hated faux-wooden shelf for eBooks, for example. Good that Apple got rid of skeuomorphism.

Wigley, pfff, That north american so called architectural critic is an absolut stupid reactionary

Stalin likes to blow up buildings....

Bauhaus makes sense, and kids love it.

I love glass & steel.

Gropius had PTSD from fighting at WW1. Now we are surrounded by bunkers looking buildings. It is a virus

Omg form doesn't follow function for God sakes

Can someone please suggest a Bauhaus hair clipper to Mr. Hans-Knud Arndt so he could fix those eyebrows? A Bauhaus cleaning kit for his bathroom wouldn't hurt either.

In iPhone, quality of voice is comprised; therefore Form destroyed the Function. This is against the teachings of the BAUHAUS

Your musical choices are outstanding. I did not expect to hear Nik Bärtsch. Excellent docuseries.

Do you have a list of the music in this series? I would like to expand my listening.

Someone should give the hater a nice modulor hug...

I'm so over I-phone anything...the company's reputation put me off.

BAUHAUS!!

I’m interacting with this video so that the algorithm shows me more of this incredible stuff.

BAUHAUS IS RACIST AS SHIT. PLEASE DON'T. IT IS SO WHITE SUPREMACY ALL IN A COMMUNITY SCHOOL SETTING FROM 1919 PRE-WORLD WAR 2 GERMANS. PLEASE STOP SPREADING THE HATE.

That Mark Wigleytalks a lot of bollocks.

I still don’t understand transition of Bauhaus to dance and movement. In one way it speaks to form and practicality (no plot, no character, movement for movement’s sake) but in others it tries to connect to human (“performed by human body”). Hmmm feel a bit exploited.

Making design from these concepts is sense making..dimension and sizing to suit a space just makes sense..not thought of this idea but will take it up..⭐

whats the track at 37.50?

the architect critic was bullied by bauhaus when he was a kid

"Kill the Bauhaus before we kill our own species", what-on-Earth is that guy talking about?

What I'm hearing is that Bauhaus is responsible for brutalism

I think they were inspired by the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack........great choice :)

Great job guys!

Without the Bauhaus then what? What would our world look like? Would it be some still tired reflection of the 19th century, overly ornamented, gothic aesthetic? Would we just have endless tributes to ancient Greco-Roman pantheons? Without the Bauhaus our world would continue to look and feel like one continuous glorification of the past, with monumental temples and Gothic structures with no originality, no design and no artistic attempts to challenge our ideas of art and architecture. The Nazi aesthetic is what we would be left with, no matter what country we would be in. Even if it's not your cup of tea, we all must be thankful for the Bauhaus to open our minds and challenge our ideas.

Mark Wigley New York critic, it's easy to criticize, it's hard to create.

funny how the conveniently ignore the Israeli occupation of Palestine in the first episode.

Imagine being trapped on the terrace because your housemate takes a shower!

Amazing to see people who feel the culture and love it, save it....

Not sure why everyone is so upset with the critic. I myself found him quite hilarious 😂

Very very niceee

I've never seen a more polarizing comment section. Bauhaus is just one of many design philosophies. It has its pros and cons, functionality at the cost of personality. Although many would say it has its own personality as well.

Damn this New York guys critique of the Bauhaus certainly is not it 😂

loving the Nils Frahm backing tracks on these videos!

why would you compare the cheapest furniture from IKEA to Bauhaus and then underlay it with the most beautiful pieces by Esbjörn Svensson and then switch to elevator music? Eclecticism is maybe not the right approach to every subject.

I`d like to visit one day!
