For that reason, the Faculty of Architecture identified and selected 7 modernist gems from Brno and supplemented them with edited texts from the Brno Architectural Manual. Roman Warta and Roman Bolček will introduce themselves to the creation of student models.

Brno is proud of a number of monuments of interwar modern architecture, among which we can include buildings by Bohuslav Fuchs, Arnošt Wiesner, Otto Eisler and the world-famous Villa Tugendhat by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Brno's interwar architecture is a fascinating reflection of an era that was accompanied by a whole range of political, economic and social changes and documents Brno's efforts to become the second most important administrative city of the new Czechoslovak state. As a result, at the beginning of the 1920s, several young architects came to Brno, who gradually imprinted the features of a modern metropolis on the face of the powerful city. During the family's few decades, a number of buildings for the offices of the new Czechoslovak state were built in Brno, as well as a remarkable number of houses, apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, spas, churches, banks, department stores, cafes, exhibition pavilions, and factories.

This numerous set of buildings combined an emphasis on simplicity, functionality, rationality of construction and aesthetic purity. Functionalist architectural vocabulary has become a universal means of expression both for avant-garde architects and for construction entrepreneurs or representatives of state institutions. The reason for this general acceptance of functionalist architecture was the social consensus that this architectural style also represents Czechoslovakia as a free and democratic state.

The exhibition is financed by the city of Brno.
