Villa Tugendhat
A house on the edge of history
The same title as the lecture is also featured on a monograph dedicated to this project by architect Jan Sapák. The Villa Tugendhat in Brno is his lifelong theme – Jan Sapák has been focusing on the history and destiny of this house since his studies. He considers the Villa Tugendhat one of the groundbreaking works of cultural history, which he says has influenced and still influences architecture and its creators worldwide. He has been publishing and lecturing on the topic of the Villa Tugendhat at home and abroad for many years.
