Rationalism, Purism, Constructivism and Functionalism are aspects of Modernism during the 1920s in architecture.
Brno, aside from Prague and Zlin became an architectural laboratory whose impact exceeded Czechoslovak borders and the Brno-built Villa Tugendhat for example is today an UNESCO world heritage site for modern architecture.
The exhibition “Brno’s Style” consists of 25 different projects and current trends in Brno’s architecture through the contemporary work of Brno born architect Jiri Gero. It presents detached houses, apartment buildings, industrial factories, sport facilities, mixed-use buildings, school grounds and renovations. Gero creates a timeless architectural work in continuation of Brno’s modernist heritage.

A new exhibition celebrating 30 years of friendship between India and Israel
How is it that two cities, which lay 4,000 km apart – share surprising similarities?
This new exhibition addresses this question with a fascinating combination of striking photographs and introductory texts.
In the 1930’s, a new architectural development took place both in Tel Aviv and Mumbai. The urban image of the city transformed into a modernist weave of new city fabric, with neatly laid out plots, uniform footprints and building heights, punctuated by skyline dominating facades of new building typologies.
This exhibition is a way of acknowledging the sorority of cities that shared an architecture of self-similarity, Art Deco in Mumbai and the Bauhaus Style in Tel Aviv. These are evident in cinemas, residential buildings, sacred spaces and more.
