I’ve been tasked with researching:

Herbert Bayer Universal Typeface

LINKS

• Herbert Bayer created a typographical identity for the Bauhaus
• Born in 1900, in Haag, Austria-Hungary
• He began working for industrial-design studios specialising in architecture in 1919
• He was first an apprentice in the office of Georg Schmidthammer
• Moved to Germany to do Arts and Crafts designer and architecture with Emanuel Josef Margold
• Whilst working with Margold he came across the 1919 Bauhaus Manifesto
• Bayer led Bauhaus' printing and advertising workshop
• In 1921 joined Swiss painter Johannes Itten's preliminary course who’s course involved concentrated breathing techniques which aided students’ creative output
• He was appointed junior master of a newly-formed printing and advertising workshop, focusing heavily on commercial design, and his main task was to give the Bauhaus a universal typographic identity

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

• Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, commonly referred to as Mies, his surname, was a German-American architect, academic, and interior designer who was born on the 27th March 1886 in Aachen, Germany; Mies lived to the age of 83
• In his early years he worked in his father's stone carving shop and at several local design firms before he moved to Berlin
• From 1908 to 1912 he worked as an architect apprentice for Peter Brehens where he encountered Groupius Walter, the man who was involved in the development of the Bauhaus
• An interesting thing about Mies is that he renamed himself Maria Ludwig Michael Mies to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, he did this as he transitioned from being a tradesman to an architecture, he added “van der” because the German form “von”, and the term “von” is used in German surnames as a nobiliary particle indicating that he had German nobility lineage, he also and his mother’s maiden name “Rohe”, after his name changing he began designing upper-class homes
• Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was the leading architect in Germany when he became the third director of the Bauhaus in 1930, he served as the final director of the influential Bauhaus school until its closing under pressure from the Nazis in 1933
• In 1929 Ludwig designed the German pavilion in the 1929 World’s Fair in Barcelona, the structure had its success thanks to its small size, its flowing spaces, rich marble walls, and custom designed furniture
• He constructed his first modernist house with the Villa Wolf in 1926 in Guben for Erich and Elisabeth Wolf
• In 1925, Mies began a relationship with designer Lilly Reich, with whom he collaborated on numerous projects, unfortunately they had to part was when he emigrated to the United States in 1938 where he accepted a residential commission in Wyoming , and not so long after that he was offered the directorship of the Armour Institute in Chicago which was later renamed the Illinois Institute of Technology. In America he had the opportunity to work on much larger scale projects, Mies worked on sleek, glass-skimmed office and apartment towers
• He became an American citizen in 1944, during his 30 years in America, his structures were derived of clearly arranged structural frameworks, featuring prefabricated steel shapes filled in with large sheets of glass as he wanted the structures to reflect a more structural and pure approach, consequently achieving his 20th century architecture goal

DESIGNING SLIDES

These are some presentation slides I designed for my group, in the end we agreed on each individual designing their own slides to give the presentation a unique look tailored to the designer
