Infographic: The Bauhaus Movement and the School that Started it All

Courtesy of Aram
Bauhaus, the school of design established by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, has arguably been the most influential of any institution in shaping the trajectory of modern architecture. Out of this single school came an entire movement that would have lasting effects on architectural pedagogy and the design of everything from buildings to road signs. Born out of a larger cultural movement following Germany’s defeat in World War I which left the country ripe for regrowth without the previous constraints imposed by censorship, the core of Bauhaus philosophy were the principles of craftsmanship and mass production, which allowed for the movement’s rapid proliferation and a production model that would later inform contemporary design companies such as Ikea. Check out the infographic from Aram below to learn more about the movement, tracking the school from its origins in , via its canonical Gropius-designed home in Dessau, to its continuing legacy today.

Latest New Yorker Cover Addresses Ferguson Rift With Saarinen’s Iconic Arch

With their latest cover, The New Yorker is addressing the tragic unrest in Ferguson which has followed Monday’s decision not to indict the officer who shot Michael Brown in August, using an image of Eero Saarinen’s iconic Gateway Arch. The image, designed by Bob Staake, shows the arch divided, black on one side and white on the other in reference to the racial tensions that underpin the dispute. “At first glance, one might see a representation of the Gateway Arch as split and divided,” says Staake, “but my hope is that the events in Ferguson will provide a bridge and an opportunity for the city.” To read more about the ideas behind Staake’s design, visit The New Yorker’s website.

Video: The Latest Development at the 2015 Milan Expo Site Revealed with a Drone

The 2015 Milan Expo has been keeping architecture fans in the loop with “Belvedere in Città,” its continuing series of videos filmed with the help of a drone. Since our update last month, two new videos have been released – and now that the recognizable forms of the pavilions are starting to emerge, the videos include labels for each feature of the expo site. With the help of these new videos it is easy to see the forms of highly-touted pavilions such as Libeskind‘s Vanke Pavilion, or Nemesi & Partners‘ smog-eating pavilion for Italy, gradually taking shape around the twin axes of the “cardo” and “decumanus,” an ancient Roman planning tool borrowed for the site’s masterplan by Jacques Herzog, Mark Rylander, Ricky Burdett, Stefano Boeri, and . Read on after the break for the second video, and screenshots of the construction works.

The 2014 Venice Biennale, Socially Ranked

At a time when everyone is constantly interacting with the digital social universe, it’s becoming increasingly easier to gather informal data on how well received, recommended, liked (or disliked) an event or exhibition is. Compiled as a series of diagrams for Domus, Maria Novozhilova examines the ‘social ranking’ of the 2014 Venice Biennale by dissecting the three core exhibitions (Fundamentals, Monditalia and Absorbing Modernity) and revealing the apparent ‘winners and losers’ as far as social engagement is concerned. Noting that ”it is only by starting from the end and working backwards, like a salmon swimming against the current, that we can see more exhaustively how things went,”, Novozhilova’s visualisations reveal a number of fascinating results. See all the diagrams here.
