Did you know that Lot #133 isn't just a poster, but a gateway to the captivating world of the Bauhaus movement? 🌍🎨 Herbert Bayer, the creative mind behind this masterpiece, invites you to delve into the Bauhaus 50 Years exhibition held at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1968. But what's the buzz about Bauhaus, you ask? Well, it's more than an art movement; it's a German revolution that unfolded from 1919 to 1933! Imagine merging all artistic forms into a single harmonious approach – a blend of individual artistry with mass production and function. 🎭✨ Meet Walter Gropius, the architectural maestro who founded the Bauhaus. Picture him assembling a dream team of artistic geniuses like Paul Klee, Johannes Itten, Anni and Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Bartning, and Wassily Kandinsky. Together, they transformed the Bauhaus school into a powerhouse of creativity, pushing the boundaries of design. This building, still a pilgrimage site for designers and architects, is a testament to Gropius's enduring influence. 🏰🖌 So, when you consider Lot #133, know that you're not just acquiring art; you're embracing a piece of history that shaped the way we perceive and interact with design! 🚀🖼 #HerbertBayer #BauhausMovement #ArtRevolution #WalterGropius #Bauhaus #AuctionHouseGem #bauhausartists #modernart #vintagefinds #homedecor #interiordesign #auctionlife #auctionfinds #artcollector #njantiques #willowauctionhouse #njauctionhouse #auctionhouse #auctionfever #uncuratedauction #estatefinds #morriscounty #essexcounty #bidnow #consignwithus #modmovement

In a Mid-Century Modern structure, ornamentation without utility is anathema. Every element must serve a purpose. Yet, according to the MCM style, the form and design must be aesthetically pleasing; everything that is beautiful must also be functional, and everything that is functional must also be beautiful, with beauty in simplicity as a paramount virtue. The result is a fascinating amalgamation of the old and the new, of the natural and the manmade, that is distinctively and gloriously Mid-Century Modern. Below we describe some of the leading figures in the illustrious Mid-Century Modernist movement, as well as their most significant achievements both in MCM aesthetics and acoustics. https://lnkd.in/ectH4H_d #fsorb #acousticinnovations #midcenturydesign #moderndesign #midcenturymodern #acoustics #acousticsolutions #mcm #architecture #design #acousticpanels #mcmdesign #architecturedesign #interiordesign #exteriordesign

One of the dominant aesthetics of gothic architecture is the use of vastly varying radii with tracery setting out and moulding details in general. The true elegance of this can only be achieved by means of the common normal. That is where two or more curves with differing radii can flow seamlessly in an organic fashion without any sharp changes in direction. Provided that they are set out in a way that all the centres share a common normal. In simple terms, both centers lie on the same line. This principle is key to the Gothic aesthetic as it demonstrates a clear creative separation from the strict regimentation of classical setting out. It provided the opportunity to create cellular-morphic forms while adhering to geometric principles.

In the intricate tapestry of construction, there are projects that stand out, not just for their grandeur but for the heart they carry within their walls. "The Ellinikon - Building Complex for People with Disabilities" is more than just a structure; it stands as a testament to compassion, inclusivity, and technological innovation. EKTER SA's team has exhibited unparalleled dedication and craftsmanship in the realization of this monumental project. Spanning across 7,737.9 sq.m., the complex's intricate design, which caters to four distinguished associations, showcases our team's deep understanding of accessibility, functionality, and architectural aesthetics. The harmonious blend of white plaster facades interspersed with dynamic plays of yellow and blue aluminum frames epitomizes modern design with purpose. The completion of the project is a testament of our team's unwavering commitment, expertise, and passion.

A great example of using solid wood in modern public art objects. The perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. Projects like this inspire the implementation of sustainable architectural solutions in the construction of modern public parks. #SustainableArchitecture #WoodConstruction #PublicArt #EcoFriendlyDesign #Bulgaria

Transcending Boundaries: The Artistic Architecture of Hollein's Feigen Gallery Hans Hollein's Feigen Gallery stands as a testament to his vision of architecture transcending traditional boundaries. The gallery's design embodies Hollein's belief that architecture should not only serve as a physical space but also evoke emotional and psychological responses. By commissioning Hollein to design his gallery, Richard Feigen sought to create a space that would challenge conventional notions of architecture and serve as a fitting backdrop for contemporary art. The gallery's design reflects Hollein's postmodern sensibilities, incorporating elements of asymmetry, spatial manipulation, and a departure from conventional architectural norms. The structural asymmetry of the grand opening supported by a reflective column serves as a striking feature, drawing attention and inviting exploration. This design choice not only adds visual interest but also prompts viewers to question the traditional hierarchy of architectural elements. The entrance itself becomes an artistic statement, blurring the lines between architecture and art. Hollein's deliberate departure from the surrounding buildings in New York reflects his belief in architecture as a counterpoint, challenging the existing urban fabric and introducing a new dialogue. The question arises: What is the relationship between art and architecture within the context of Hollein's Feigen Gallery? The gallery's design suggests a symbiotic relationship, where architecture becomes an integral part of the artistic experience. However, the challenge lies in finding a balance where the architecture enhances rather than overwhelms the art it houses. As Feigen's experience with contemporary artists refusing to show in the space demonstrates, achieving this balance is not always straightforward. Ultimately, Hollein's Feigen Gallery can be seen as a collage of architectural influences, artistic expression, and philosophical inquiry. It challenges viewers to reconsider their preconceptions of space, form, and function, while also raising important questions about the intersection of art and architecture in the modern world. #HolleinGallery #ArtMeetsArchitecture #PostmodernDesign #FeigenGallery #UrbanCounterpoint #ArchitecturalCollage #TranscendingBoundaries #ArtisticExpression #ReflectiveColumn #SpatialManipulation
