Lesson 08: The modernist villa
The modernist villa, 1950 - 1968 After the Second World War, interest and what was going on in the world, and particularly strong interest in Danish architects, was what happened in the United States. The German architect Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius fled to the United States, and had created a whole new modernist architecture, buildings with open floor plans, flat roofs and large windows from floor to roof was characteristic of the new direction. At home were the pioneers of the new architecture architects Jrn Utzon, Erik Christian Srensen and Friis Moltke, who built the first houses in the 1950-s. The new modern times demand more of a detached house. Lifestyles are changing, people have televisions and car in the garage, and in general think people in the future. The architecture becomes more refined, the housing plan was open, and long unbroken walls with small windows, and large window areas in living rooms were the norm. The roof structure was built-up roof, located on visible tagrem and with large eaves. The open fireplace in the living room was also a fad for these houses.From:Nicolai HansenViews:0 0ratingsTime:03:08More inEducation
