THE IxD BAUHAUS31

DEFINE The IxD The IxD Bauhaus could be deﬁned as a return to purity and honesty in visual interaction experiences - with a focus on content rather than Bauhaus chrome, and a pursuit of authentic digital experiences rather than nostalgia and object envy.32

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE BAUHAUS? 1.  Not all material is worthy of celebration. 2.  Beauty is in the details, construction & structure. 3.  Ensuring familiarity without losing brand identity. 4.  Software processes are driving the IxD Bauhaus. 5.  When all facades are glass, it’s hard to know where the door is.33

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Representation Material Construction Nostalgia Envy 34

REPRESENTATION : CARRIED AWAY BY ‘MATERIAL RESOLUTION’ plastic concrete paint pixels35

NOSTALGIC ENVY wood nature realism objects36

A REDUCTION TO BASICS. steel concrete painting pixels37

BERNARD TSCHUMI Built Architecture decays with time. Traditional built architecture.39

A TRADITIONAL DIFFERENCE Built Digital architecture architecture decays with grows with time. time. Architecture, Furniture, Art – in the Interactive experiences and all that’s coming traditional sense of the word. round the corner.40

IxD MATERIALS TO PLAY WITH content time data others…41

OLD LINGERING FORMS OF ENVY PHYSICALITY 3D REALITY AUGMENTED REALITY GESTURE NATURAL USER INTERFACES others…42

TO CONCLUDE… What is an IxD Post Modernism going to be? Just provoking thought.
