Vladimír Šlapeta: Pozoruhodné osudy prvorepublikových vil | 18. 11. | Brno

They are symbols of a modern lifestyle that have not lost their historical charm even after a century. Experience the charming atmosphere of the first republic thanks to the architectural jewels that still fascinate with their soul and appearance. Travel with us to places that inspire admiration and spark imagination about what stories were written in them when they were created. Villas with the stamp of historicism, art nouveau, cubism or functionalism will take us through the golden era of Czechoslovak architecture. We enter the legendary Tugendhat Villa in Brno with a rare onyx wall and let ourselves be carried away by its magnetizing glass room. We will take a walk through Hermina Ripková's summer house in Pisárky, which is considered the most romantic villa, or take a look at Kolonia Nový dům with elements of modernity. We let ourselves be carried away by the story of the "levitating" Villa Savoye or the kingdom of organic architecture - the Villas in Löbau. Acclaimed architectural historian and excellent storyteller Vladimír Šlapeta will introduce us to the intimate testimony of buildings from the interwar and later periods. ✨🏢⏳🏛️

Vladimír Šlapeta will tell an engaging story about:
— extraordinary buildings of the interwar and later era
— villas whose stories still fascinate today
— the golden era of Czechoslovak architecture
— specific jewels of architecture and from our territory
