00:00Just an hour away from Warsaw, along the river Bug, stands a wooden house hiding layers of history, complexity and architectural innovation.
00:08The creation and residence of renowned Polish architects Oskar and Zofia Hansen is both a showcase and a moving tribute to the open-form style.
00:16We see different shapes of wood through the walls and windows, specially designed these frames. Hansen said that the open-form form is a frame for looking at the world.
00:32Rather than an airtight barrier, it is permeable, interacting with the surrounding environment and allowing the outdoors in.
00:38A triangular roof connecting the garden with the house has a similar message.
00:42The dwelling and its environment combine to make a larger, greater hole.
00:46It appears on the iconic houses network list, to which people from all over the world, including Switzerland, Brazil and Venice, travel every year.
00:55The open-form form was the good, the actual architecture, which is a place for life. It does not dominate us. It is humanistic.
01:07A form a zamknięta, no to najłatwiej sobie wyobrazić taki statyczny, dawny posąg na postumencie – czyli coś w ogóle takiego centralizującego, zdobywającego nad nami władzę.
01:21And then Hansen developed it. He said that the form of open art is the ecology, the understanding of nature and our place in nature.
01:32The form of open art is the war, the destruction.
01:35So it was a pretty poetic and general theory.
01:39But he made it a whole life in the form of different games, but also in his own home.
01:50The most important part of architecture can be made from the found wood, material from the bied of materials,
02:05that the builders didn't have the budget.
02:09And this is an inspiration for many people who come there, but they think wow.
02:16So you can project, draw something, build something, but not everything depends on big money.
02:23So it's wonderful.
02:24And Hansen show us that you can do a great work with a very cheap cost,
02:30with a strength of imagination, creativity and great talent.
02:35Wanda Chruszczycka was a neighbor of the Hansen's as well as their frequent guest.
02:40She took us along for a visit of the house, explaining the personal significance of many of its items,
02:46which include her personal memories of the house and its owners.
02:50And that was a very nice place.
02:51So it was a great place to work with a bunch of people who were able to do it.
02:52And this is a very nice place.
02:53And this is a great place.
02:54And this is a great place.
02:55And this is a great place to work with a lot of people who were able to do it.
02:56to go on, gospodarze jeździli w pole pracować, uprawiać je.
03:02I zwykle tutaj właśnie, na powrocie, po robocie, zatrzymywali się, gadusiali,
03:08zdawali sobie relacje, opowiadali dowcipy, no jak to ludzie.
03:13Natomiast pan Oskar Hansen stwierdził, że ławeczki zlikwidować nie można,
03:19wybudował przyzwoitą ławeczkę, która dalej miała spełniać podobną rolę,
03:25ale nie tylko, bo fajnie wyszło, bo ludzie, którzy się tu zatrzymywali, rozmawiali,
03:34a w środku Hansenowie siedzili sobie przy stole, na tarasiku, słyszeli się wzajemnie.
03:41Hansen słyszał o czym opowiadają rolnicy, rolnicy słyszeli o czym dyskutuje się u Hansenów.
03:47In this way, the open-form movement meant that the couple opened up their lives
03:51to the surrounding community, blurring personal boundaries as well as architectural ones.
03:55Construction of the house began in 1968 and was never actually completed.
04:00Always a work in progress in collaboration with the community, their friends and their children.
04:05The outside was white with white pass.
04:10Here is an absolute negative.
04:12It is white with white pass, which means that we are already outside.
04:19Vande takes us on a tour of the Hansen space room by room.
04:24Throughout the property there are quite a few elements that are practical
04:26and at the same time act as teaching apparatuses.
04:29For example, a table that extends through the interior to the exterior.
04:32All of its planks are multicolored and can be arranged as desired.
04:36When Oskar came to us, when I came to us, I asked him to set up the colors on the floor,
04:45so that it was nice and nice.
04:49In other words, I asked him to express the mood, which I have today.
04:58So they were quite difficult, but very interesting.
05:05The first part of the room, which appears in different parts,
05:12has a role of information.
05:17How to move it and so on.
05:19The space was meant to be interacted and played with by the Hansens themselves
05:35as well as by the surrounding community.
05:38Mr. Oskar spent the day in the garden, or in the garden, or in the garage.
05:45But the light was lit up in the morning, and until the morning.
05:50So I think that all his work, his projects and other things were performed at night.
05:57Vande leads us back downstairs.
05:59She shows us the bathroom with its glass ceiling.
06:02Apparently, Zofia Hansen liked this place in autumn,
06:04because the leaves covered it from above.
06:06Next, we see another studio where Oskar Hansen made furniture,
06:10as well as his aviary, and the garage where he kept his beloved car,
06:13of which only the license plate remains.
06:15We look at the garden.
06:17Vande recalls that the crop of this small orchard was Hansen's homemade wine.
06:20It was not good, but nobody ever admitted that.
06:25All these old trees are planted by Hansen,
06:28and each of these trees has a name.
06:31The house is owned by the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw,
06:38which wants to keep it in the spirit of open form,
06:40meaning that it will continue to remain fluid, never stagnant, or declared complete.

06:53meaning that it will continue to remain fluid, never stagnant, or declared complete.
06:58We don't create a museum of Hansen's museum,
07:01but we show this house through the work.
07:06There are workshops, meetings, meetings,
07:08and there are also students, students.
07:13And this house is a museum.
07:16It is a museum museum,
07:17in which you can actually go to the real toilet of its inhabitants,
07:22see how they eat,
07:26see their own items,
07:28but also to make some kind of play,
07:31make some kind of play,
07:33make some kind of play,
07:34architect, architect.
07:35They are community.
07:36Son Hansen, Igor Hansen,
07:38said to his son,
07:39that he wanted to stay for a moment in this house.
07:43He felt well to sit there,
07:45who was there,
07:46who was right there.
07:47And they would stay there
07:48and they were in the situation,
07:51which he directed his parents.
07:53Thank you very much.
