Open Culture<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

This April 1st marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the German art school that, though short-lived, launched an entire design movement with a stark, functional aesthetic all its own. It can be tempting, looking into that aesthetic that finds the beauty in industry and the industry in beauty, to regard it as purely a product of its time and place, specifically a 20th-century Europe between the wars searching for ways to invent the future. But as revealed in Bauhaus World, this three-part documentary from German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, the legacy of the Bauhaus lives on not just in the reputations of its best known original members \u2014 Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy, and Josef Albers, among others \u2014 but in the currently active creators it continues to inspire in every corner of the Earth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018What do escalators in Medell\u00edn, Arabic lettering in Amman, story-telling furniture from London, urban farming in Detroit and a co-living complex in Tokyo have to do with the Bauhaus?\u2019 asks Deutsche Welle’s web site. They all draw from \u2018the influence that the philosophy of the Bauhaus movement still exerts on the globalized society of the 21st century,\u2019 a time that has its societal parallels with the year 1919.<\/p>\n

To illustrate those parallels as well as the continuing relevance of Bauhaus teachings, \u2018we meet architects, urban planners, designers and artists from around the globe who, in the spirit of the Bauhaus, want to rethink and change the world.\u2019 True to its title, Bauhaus World’s journey involves a wide variety of countries, and not just European ones: different segments profile the work of Bauhaus-influenced designers everywhere from Mexico to Jordan, Colombia to Israel, the United States to Japan.<\/p>\n

It’s in Japan, in fact, that the first part of Bauhaus World, \u2018The Code,\u2019 finds the outer reaches of the spread of Bauhaus that began with the exile of its members from Nazi Germany. The second part, \u2018The Effect,\u2019 deals with the enduring influence that has turned Bauhaus and its principles from a movement to a brand, one that has potentially done more than its share to make us as design-obsessed as we’ve become in the 21st century \u2014 a century that, the third and final part \u2018The Utopia\u2019 considers, may or may not have a place for the original Bauhaus ideals. But whatever Gropius, Klee, Moholy-Nagy, Albers, and the rest would think of what the Bauhaus they created has become over the past hundred years, over the next hundred years more and more designers \u2014 emerging from a wider and wider variety of societies and traditions \u2014 will come to see themselves as its descendants.<\/p>\n
