"The Tugendhat House:
Mies van der Rohe's Czech Masterpiece"
at the Chicago Bauhaus and Beyond booth
free to show attendees (admission to show must be paid at door)
Hidden until recent years from Western eyes, this Mies van der Rohe 1930 modern masterpiece is now a museum in Brno, the Czech Republic. In this penetrating documentary, architect Paul Finfer and filmmaker June Finfer visit the unique home and reveal the story of the wealthy family that had it built, and their relationship to the architect. Featuring interviews with the Tugendhat daughter, architectural historian Daniela Tugendhat in Vienna, and the nanny in London who raised the children in the home, the 50 minute documentary also includes comments by colleagues and students of Mies who have visited the home.
