The city of Brno holds a crucial place in Czechoslovakian avant-garde architecture, and in the ‘20s and ‘30s became an architectural metropolis, linked with the pioneering works of Bohuslav Fuchs and the works of the Functionalist school. This catalogue sheds light on the conditions that made this architectural golden age possible, and illuminates the work of some less well-known, but worthy figures in modern architecture in addition to Mies van der Rohe.

This edition presents the Dutch architect Raoul Bunschoten and concentrates on his three latest projects (from the period 1988-91): Soul’s Cycle, Berlin and Apeiron and The Skin of the Earth. Bunschoten’s use of materials, ferrocement and steel, make a high degree of precision necessary. The heavy concrete sections are cast in specially-made moulds, and are held up by the collection of small steel plates and steel wire. At the same time, heavy objects are liberated from the ground, or move on wheels. Bunschoten has a bold, exciting vision.
