FROM BAUHAUS TO OUR HOUSE

Due to this long-term insult, it is as smart as a title, a short long story of modernism architecture. Flat roofs and glass boxes are not practical and the designer's exhilarating rhetoric method, Le Corbusier's unconstructed (and poorly constructed) building, Gropius's miter abstinent, etc. are mostly normal is. , Mies and uniform blinds / curtains / shadows, sterile office buildings, inhumane housing projects, white wall integration of believers' residences - delivery only, not criticized or joking this time, scornful. There are two complaints of wolves: these are all conscious, they are "non-bourgeoisie" ("spirit of the 20th century avant-garde"), which is "not American", "unforgettable baroque" It is not faithful American civilization is prosperous. "Initially unsafe American architects rushed to Bauhaus to study, after which camp followers Philip Johnson and Henry Russell-Hitchcock announced the arrival of an" international style "; And in 1937, Gropius and Co. ("Unfounded, exhausted, unmanned, man without a country, the fate of encounter") - What did we do? We have fallen into their faces, making them school leaders, modernism as a new gospel, downgrading Frank Lloyd Wright, banning apostates (like Edward Durel Stone) and building did. A troublesome box. Robert Venturi revealed the complexity and contradiction in modern architecture (1966), not to overthrow non-bourgeois faith, but to update it with reference to the history of his camp. For postmodernists, this is misnomer: they still gathered in "compound" (said to be the basic feature of modernism - even the Kolbs have Iris brothers) and are still boxed. In short, this is annoying to almost every spleen. For Wolf, modernism seems to be a fundamental way. But there will be readers - Wolf fans, and people who still feel the threat of these glass boxes even after 60 years have passed

Skepticism about modernism is not limited to the UK. In the United States, Tom Wolf wrote from Bauhaus to our house, from Bauhaus directly to the United States to explain the Prince of European silver, he wrote that he built houses that look like worker's house and pesticide factory. Reliable point He suggested that any attempt to actually sit on the Le Corbusier's reclining chair would adopt karate behind his neck. "In modernism attacks on inhumane behavior, and in the extreme case anything that can be filled with contemporary nicknames has concluded that modernism can not find beauty and that it is not worth it. I thought, "Wilk said. The mind still believes in the early moral mission of modernists. Therefore, the crime of a concrete tower where Le Corbusier's design is inadequate and construction is inadequate has little to do with his work.

The wolf suddenly came to our house from Bauhaus and finished his question. But the answer is in its early stages, Wolff explained the first principle that Gropius and his colleagues built Bauhaus. They were so excited by the new industrial era and they named themselves as Prince. I think there are many designers close to many things today, but that is more than just the possibilities of new materials and manufacturing processes. Design enthusiasm, such as behavioral interventions, nudging in the "correct" direction of people, most people meaning "right" or supporting loyalty, is one example of the same impulses leading to machines is. To survive

This is synonymous with a hero designer, bring new knowledge to customers, educate customers, and improve customer hobbies. Walter Gropius and other Bauhaus teachers and graduates play Moses' role and can acquire knowledge that has not been washed from the mountain even if it is not washed. I passed the director of the Yale museum. Designers have problems as a convincing taste maker. Mr. Wolf said how modernist luxury clients feel dissatisfied with the design of architects and how people working in modernist architecture impose restrictions on their "living machines" I often speak about what. For Gropius and Mies, Philip Johnson and others, if the customer is not satisfied, it is because they are caught by their bourgeois view, not because the building is bad.
