Modern Movement

1910 – 1940sFunctionalism

Ornament as Crime

Raumplan & Plan Libre

whatever you design MUST work

space planning issues

Page 2: Modern Movement

Adolph Loos, 1870-

1933

•“father of modern movement”•architect—loved theory•used no historical references in his architecture—especially ornamentation

Page 3: Modern Movement

•ornament does not serve a function•wrote of people that continue to ornament their bodies—backward & uncivilized•likened those with tattoos to criminals

Page 4: Modern Movement

Steiner House, Adolph Loos, 1910-1920

•white box as a dwelling •strong desire for symmetry

backyard

Page 5: Modern Movement

•front façade•curved line for interest

•very rigid

Page 6: Modern Movement

Moller House, Adolph Loos, 1910-

1920 •believes society has two faces—public face (exterior) & private face (interior)•client did own interior

Page 7: Modern Movement

•gave you the shell to work with—you chose individual pieces

•space should be freed from having rigid floors•wanted much more organicism

Page 8: Modern Movement

Raumplan—he freed the space vertically—

different sense of complexity

Page 9: Modern Movement

Maison Domino, Le Corbusier, 1914

direct contrast with Le Corbusier’s—“Plan Libre”

Page 10: Modern Movement

Walter Gropius

Director of Bauhaus School—1919•combines two schools of thought—hand craft & fine art

•you design it, you make it,but you accept that it will bemade by a machine & massproduced

Page 11: Modern Movement

•completely disregarded history in design

•all incoming students went through a “ritual cleansing”

•first year consisted of a study of elements and principles of design

first year

Page 12: Modern Movement

•original location of the school—very conservative town•1923—exhibition; public didn’t like it•thought that the Bauhaus was creating socialist freethinkers•made them move

Page 13: Modern Movement

Bauhaus, Dessau, Gropius & Faculty, 1926•city (Dessau) funded the construction of the new

building•faculty designed building

Page 14: Modern Movement

•still exists•simplified approach to building •little ornamentation•very rational

Page 15: Modern Movement

•designed to function in a specific manner•if it functioned well, it was beautiful•used as few materials as possible

Page 16: Modern Movement

very linear & avant garde

Page 17: Modern Movement

Director's Office at Weimar Bauhaus,

Gropius & collaborators, 1926

•did use color•only soft thing in the room is textile•lighting by Laslo

Page 18: Modern Movement

Johannes Itten, 1916

•two faculty members per studio•one to explain production & one to explain design•Itten believed his job was to reach into each student and unleash inner creativity•Gropius wasn’t happy with this

Page 19: Modern Movement

Die Begegnung, Johannes Itten, 1916

•loved expressive and manipulative aspects of color

Page 20: Modern Movement

Laslo Moholy-Nagly•more of an industrial designer—about production•form is the expression

Page 22: Modern Movement

Marcel Breuer (Broyer)

•taught furniture making•used materials efficiently and in new ways

Page 23: Modern Movement

•sling seat—fabric held in tension•step in the direction of trying to see function of chair•cantilevering becomes popular

Page 24: Modern Movement

Cesca Chair Breuer, 1926

•inspired by a bicycle•sitting only on two legs—entirely cantilevered

Page 25: Modern Movement

meant for a middle class

market

Page 26: Modern Movement

Tubular Steel furniture by Marcel Breuer, 1925-1927, Bauhaus Wassily Chair

Wassily Chair, 1927•named after his friend—

Wassily Kandinsky•some people argue it uses more material than necessary

Page 27: Modern Movement

Gunta Stolzl•weaving workshop director—began on a temporary basis•women could only go into weaving•would sell students designs to industry for money for school•women in weaving were supporting entire school eventually

Page 28: Modern Movement

•did wall hangings, rugs, bedspreads, etc…•only soft surface in entire space—humanized interior

1926

Page 29: Modern Movement

Wallhanging, Stolzl, 1926

Lily Reich

•heads up weaving workshop in the 30s—when Mies van der Rohe becomes the director•called herself an “inner architect”

manipulated textiles so that room feels soft—uses tubular steel like Breuer—chair reference

to Mies

Page 35: Modern Movement

Mies van der Rohe

1886-1969

“Architecture is the real battleground

of the spirit.”•wants to take

Bauhaus to its next step—focusing more on aesthetics

Page 36: Modern Movement

Tubular Steel Cantilever Chair, Mies

& Lily Reich, 1926 •MR2•tubular steel•fabric in tension supports padding•injected lead into back stretcher to hold it down—in order to keep more elegant line of curved legs

Page 37: Modern Movement

German Pavilion, Barcelona, Spain, World's Fair, 1929; w/ Barcelona furniture

perhaps the most famous of all work

Page 38: Modern Movement

•based off of Corbusier’s “plan libre”•all walls are non-load bearing—do not articulate and close off space

Page 39: Modern Movement

concrete ceiling & slab floors

Page 40: Modern Movement

limited structure

Page 41: Modern Movement

•free flow of space—walls are accenting depth of space•rug/textile helps to identify space & function•can have glass walls now—are not supporting anything

Page 42: Modern Movement

Barcelona Chair, Spain, Mies, 1929

•throne for king & queen of Spain’s visit to pavilion•leather and strap steel with fabric & tension webbing

centers all weight on one point—had to thicken joint

Page 47: Modern Movement

Tugendhat (family) House, Mies, Brno (city), Czechoslovakia, 1928-1930

•residential—façade; simple white boxes•strong horizontal quality—flat roof•unornamented•generally unpretentious

Page 48: Modern Movement

looks to be one story—actually two—top floor servants; ground floor family

glass curtain wall can roll down into basement walls

Page 49: Modern Movement

Corbusier’s idea of structure used—columns or “pilotes” only thing holding up structure

Page 50: Modern Movement

frames an extraordinary view

Page 51: Modern Movement

front door hard to find—kind of like FLW

Page 52: Modern Movement

•“wallpaper” is nature—curtains play vital role in climate control•textile defines space

Page 53: Modern Movement

•chrome plated columns distinguishes Mies work from Corbusier

•curtains being used as temporary walls

•textiles & glass used as dividers instead of walls

Page 54: Modern Movement

chrome plated columns distinguishes Mies work from Corbusier

Page 55: Modern Movement

Tugendhat chair

•fabric & tension webbing•tufted leather•still cantilevered, but with “S” shape curve•again used strap steel

Page 56: Modern Movement

Identifying features?

Page 57: Modern Movement

dining room articulated by curved wall—built-in marble side board seems to be floating

Page 58: Modern Movement

•wood grain of wall creates distinct patterns

•view brings color and pattern to space

Page 59: Modern Movement

Brno Chair

•named after location of house•emphasizes cantilever•dropped seat•not fabric & tension•strap steel

Page 60: Modern Movement

Brno Chair

tubular steel version

Page 61: Modern Movement

STRAP STEEL VERSION•more elegant•heavier•more expensive

TUBULAR STEEL VERSION•easier to move•less expensive

Page 62: Modern Movement

Le Corbusier

1887-1965

•his interpretation of modern movement most clear—published•“Vers un Architecture”•made five points:

•plan libre—eliminate load bearing walls so it can be open to anything—furniture created space definition—furniture becomes most important•skeletal steel frame should show—columns/pilotes•lift structure off ground away from “dampness”•creates abstraction of nature on roof to balance footprint below•uninterrupted strip/ribbon windows due to less structure

Page 63: Modern Movement

•strip window lends visual texture & color to space•structure separated from wall •indirect trough lighting

Lacquer work, furniture and

screens, Eileen Gray, 1913-

1920s

•block screen—created so that it is very pliable•iconic piece of Eileen Gray

•Madame Levy—Gray’s first interior commission– Rue de Lota•applied concept of block screen down hallway

Page 101: Modern Movement

•large, custom graphic design on wall•sitting in Pirogue—like boatish daybed

Page 102: Modern Movement

fireplace only remaining original interiors—all else Gray modified

Page 103: Modern Movement

Pirogue, from the apartment of Mme Levy

Page 104: Modern Movement

used a reeding effect—Egyptian inspiration?

Page 105: Modern Movement

graphic imagery on wall separates Gray from everyone else

Gray called Le Corbusier's murals "an act of vandalism."

detail of Le Corbusier’s

mural

"Those few days spent in your house have made me appreciate the rare spirit that dictates all of its organization, both inside and outside, and has given the modern furniture and equipment a form that is so dignified, so charming and full of wit."

Le Corbusier wrote to Gray after

staying at E-1027:
