he he I was asking if you had ny good ones, The Ulm Hochschule fer Gestaltung was post Bauhaus and was pretty influential (at Braun anyway) Luminairies include Max Bill, Otl Aicher, Dieter Rams (?) Hans Gugelgot, Claude Schnaidt, Inge Scholl etc etc
They had a precise methodology which is hard to find info on, Form + Zweit had an issue dedicated to it some time ago.
They were criticised for being soul- less navel gazers who ended up in a creative & intellectual blind alley. But they made some great things.
Don't get me wrong, I think...
Don't get me wrong, I think heaps of the work from Ulm was great stuff, Max Bill clocks for Junghans are brilliant. I think also maybe they were a bit too Utopian? Rams really moderated things at Braun.
So hard to find good information on the school, it really shows up the limits of the net when you try and find something a little bit off the track.
I have mentioned this before...
but for those who read french, the catalogue of the Centre Georges Pompidou exhibition on the HfG Ulm is a very good document to.Especially Otl Aicher's description of his first years at the HfG Ulm and the differences between the bauhaus and Ulm.
It has always amazed me how succesful the HfG Ulm was in educating young people. Compared with the Bauhaus...most succesful through it's teachers...Ulm has been a source of excellent designers for many years. People like Stephan Lengyel,Alexander Neumeister,Andries Van Onck, Hans von Klier,Rudolfo Bonetto, Dieter Raffler,Michel Millot,Herbert Ohl, Hans Roericht,etc. etc.
