#villa tugendhat

[thomas-querqy]

A Brno (Tchéquie), la villa Tugendhat tient la vedette auprès de tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'architecture du XXe siècle, en particulier à l'architecture de l'entre deux guerres, moment d'émergence de l'architecture moderne, avec notamment l'école du Bauhaus. Ludwig van der Rohe, qui en fut l'un des directeurs, l'a conçue en 1930.

Son inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO a permis une belle rénovation en 2001, mais pour la visiter (en petit groupe), il faut s'y prendre plusieurs mois à l'avance. A défaut, comme nous, vous pourrez l'admirez de l'extérieur puisque l'accès au jardin reliant la villa Löw-Beer en contre-bas est libre.

Quoi qu'il en soit, vous vous consolerez sans difficulté avec pas moins de 760 constructions référencées sur ce site :

Parmi elles, cette villa a titillé ma curiosité par son nom : "villa pour deux jeunes hommes". L'architecte Otto Eisler l'a faite construire pour lui et son frère Mořic, une maison pensée parfaite pour deux jeunes passionnés de sport, de musique et collectionneurs, recevant en nombre intellectuels et artistes.

R.A. Dvorský et ses Melody boys

Je ne fus guère étonné de lire dans la fiche wikipédia d'Otto Eisler qu'il a été persécuté par les nazis pendant l'occupation allemande de la Tchécoslovaquie parce qu'il était à la fois juif et présumé homosexuel. "En avril 1939, il fut arrêté par la Gestapo et incarcéré à la prison de Špilberk, où il fut apparemment torturé. Lorsqu'il fut mis en congé, il s'enfuit en Norvège, où il arriva le 21 février 1940. Après l'invasion de la Norvège par l'Allemagne, il tenta de fuir vers la Suède mais fut blessé par balle à quelques mètres seulement de la frontière, puis déporté à Auschwitz à bord du SS. Donau. Là, il retrouve son frère Mořic (Moriz), avec qui il survit à la marche de la mort vers Buchenwald."

“Les frères” Rudolf Koppitz, 1928.

Ces deux frères qui vivaient ensemble m'ont rappelé une visite à l'hôtel Martel dans le XVIe arrondissement de Paris, construit peu avant, par un autre grand architecte du "Mouvement moderne", Robert Mallet-Stevens :

wasn’t able to get a ticket for the tour of the inside bc you have to order them like three days in advance but I also got to see the outside & the garden of this sweet house thats on the unesco list as the only example of czech modern architecture for free

#mp #its called villa tugendhat & it was built by ludwig miles van der rohe between 1928-1930 #and the jewish tugendhat family who commissioned it only got to live in it for about 8 years before they had to flee the country due to ww2 #then it got plundered & devastated by the soviet army during the liberation (who used the furniture as wood fuel & turned the entire villa #into like. stables for horses. plus the linoleum floors were destroyed & all the large windowpanes got smashed & everything) #then in the 50's the communists made like a children's hospital / rehabilitation centre for children with spine defects out of it #and it only got fully restored back to its former glory & original appearance between 2010-2012. craziest shit ive ever heard #its sooooo beautiful though they rly went off with art nouveau architecture plus theres an insane view of the špilberk castle from the #garden like this house genuinely had it all

Cool, isn’t it?

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! ¡Feliz sábado! Hoy os traigo la imagen de Brno, la segunda ciudad más grande de la República Checa y enclavada en la región de Moravia. Con una rica historia que se remonta al siglo XI, Brno presenta una arquitectura fascinante que fusiona estilos góticos y barrocos. El imponente Castillo Špilberk domina la ciudad desde una colina y ofrece una vista panorámica impresionante. La Plaza de la Libertad (Namesti Svobody) es el corazón del centro histórico, donde los visitantes pueden disfrutar de tiendas, restaurantes y eventos culturales. Brno alberga la famosa Villa Tugendhat, una obra maestra modernista diseñada por Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Además, la ciudad es conocida por su animada escena estudiantil, ya que es el hogar de la Universidad Masaryk.

Para tener en cuenta...

Creo que las personas no se borran de la memoria. No puedes olvidar a aquellos que una vez te arrancaron una sonrisa, a quienes aceleraron tu corazón, a aquellos que te hicieron llorar durante horas. Las personas no se desvanecen. Cambiamos la forma en que las percibimos, alteramos el lugar que ocupan en nuestro corazón, el papel que desempeñan en nuestra vida. Hay quienes han sacado lo mejor de mí, sin importar la ocasión, y hay quienes han hecho que derrame lágrimas e inquietado mi existencia, pero enseñándome a convertirme en quien soy. Aunque hoy solo quede una leve sonrisa o un simple saludo entre nosotros, siempre serán parte de mi vida. No olvido a nadie. No olvido a quienes han tomado mi mano, al menos, una vez en mi vida. Porque si lo han hecho, significa que el destino quiso que cruzara sus caminos antes de seguir adelante.

About (solo) trips, dance performances, first lessons, and much more ;)

27.10.2023

Hello again!;D

The time flies and it's literally so strange to already write about the month October, because it feels like I just uploaded my first blog post yesterday. The last weeks have been full of new places, new people, and new adventures and I'm sure you want to hear more about it. So let's get started with a little recap from the month of October.

But first, we have to go back to the end of September and my first solo trip EVER. I wanted to travel alone for a very long time and finally, I knew it was the perfect moment to make it happen. As the 28th was a national holiday and I also had some overtime hours to use for one day off I was able to enjoy a longer weekend of four days. So I booked myself a Bus ticket to Brno and a cute Airbnb for 3 nights and when I arrived in the city I knew it was the right decision. :D

I'd never been to Brno before and didn't know what to expect from it, but then I was welcomed by the city with sunny weather, many cute cafes, nice places to linger, and impressive architecture that I'd also seen like this in Plzeň and Praha before and that still thrilled me again.

Being a tourist I definitely had to visit the "Villa Tugendhat", the city centre with all its churches and cathedrals, the "Špilberk" and many other attractions. To be honest, when you travel alone and especially without your parents paying for every action, you have to think twice if you really want to visit this museum or go to that restaurant. ;D So I mostly cooked in my flat and tried to visit free locations like the botanical garden or the Planetarium - which were still definitely worth it- but also wanted to spend my money on good coffee, a nice book, and - my highlight of the trip- a visit to the "Janáčkovo divadlo". It was a very spontaneous decision to go to the last performance of "Bolero", a ballet about "Human relationships, basic questions of human existence, and question marks over one's own identity" and it was definitely a step out of my comfort zone but in the end, I didn't regret the costs or the decision itself because it was a wonderful and entertaining evening.

On Sunday, October 1st, I was a little bit sad to leave the city but also very happy traveling back to Plzeň, because honestly it already felt like a return home. I also got excited about all the upcoming events in and out of TOTEM.

The following Friday Maren and I went to the "Pilsner Fest" and I don't know if it was the free beer we got upon entering or the super fun DJ in one of the beer tents - probably a little of both – in any case, our mood that evening was extremely good. ;D

The next day I had a performance with my dance group Adeto at the "Třetí festival" in the "Kulturní dům JAS". All of us were a little bit nervous but when the music started we just showed our skills and had fun and definitely thrilled the audience. We were also celebrating Adeto's 10th anniversary, so the atmosphere was very good and exuberant and I clearly enjoyed every minute of the evening.

On Monday I then made my way to Praha and finally to the small town of Horoměřice, 15 minutes by bus from the capital of the Czech Republic. You might ask yourself, why I would go there of all places -well- because I spent the following days together with 19 other volunteers at our on-arrival seminar, which also included Maren and Pia, whom I already knew before. :) I think that I could write a single blog post about this week only, because the things I have experienced there, the people I've met, and the lessons I have learned are so numerous. But let me try to sum it up for you in a few sentences:

Our wonderful "leaders" Pavel and Filip not only held workshops on the topics "giving and receiving feedback, Czech language and history as well as our rights and possibilities in our journey as volunteers" but also inspired us on ways to reflect on our experiences and to plan our road ahead. I also had the opportunity to meet many new people, some of them my age others already in their 20s and I enjoyed every talk with one of them. As I listened to their stories and saw the similarities I had with some of them but also how different and unique everyone was, I realized once again that I should never try to compare my volunteer experiences to theirs and that we all have our own path on which we can decide how to proceed. I'm looking forward to meeting many of them at the mid-term seminar again, listening to their news, and telling them about my experiences in TOTEM. We even have a few trips planned, but more on that when the time comes. So stay tuned!;)

On Friday after leaving the hotel in the morning we drove back to Praha. Maren and I explored parts of the city we hadn't been to before, went to small bookstores, and expanded my collection of (really!) beautiful postcards from Praha before we met with Pia and Juli at the café "mamacoffee". The weather was so summery and warm again that we all had to drink a refreshing iced coffee before we continued strolling through the city, passing a few second-hand shops where each of us found a new beautiful piece. After a delicious dinner at Juli's apartment, we went back to the centre to watch the wonderful light constellations of the "Signal Festival" at places all over the city and then it was time to say goodbye to our friends before traveling back to Plzeň.

That week I not only met many lovely people but also received renewed motivation for my project. By visualizing all my goals and ideas about my volunteer service, I was able to get started straight away on Monday with everything I had planned.

Since I had my first German and English conversations the following week, I thought about topics, planned the lessons, and collected ideas for rituals and games that would make learning even more exciting. To be honest, I was very nervous when I walked into the room on Wednesday. All the expectant looks from the students and the questions in my head: "How will they like my lessons? Can I implement everything as intended? Will they get used to me?"

But what can I say? Although not everything went 100% as planned, I still had a good feeling after the first conversations in all 4 courses, which was probably also due to the positive feedback I received from some students. This made me even more motivated when planning my content for the following week and the tension before the lessons also subsided. Meanwhile, I have a feeling for every class and know how to prepare them individually. Every group has its own characteristics and so every lesson is different. It's not always easy, but developing the flexibility and learning to deal with each group in a way that suits everyone is a very valuable insight that will certainly help me further outside of TOTEM and after my voluntary social year.

This month has been a big lesson for me. I have learned to go out of my comfort zone, to try new things, not to judge people too quickly, and sometimes - even though it might seem a little bit scary at first- simply to get involved in things without knowing exactly how they will turn out.

Although my personality hasn't changed completely, I believe that all those experiences have shaped my personal self so far and have helped me to develop further while giving me the chance to grow personally - and I'm already extremely grateful for that!

Walking through Brno - all the pretty houses

While discovering the many sights of Brno, like Spilberk Castle, the Villa Tugendhat, but also the various underground locations in the city, we passed some truly amazing buildings. I am not really sure how much of the city got destroyed in WWII. The city has definitely been bombed, but the diversity of the architecture in Brno is just astonishing. So maybe there wasn’t so much destruction in the…

Villa Tugendhat, 1930, Checoslovaquia Arquitecto: Mies van der Rohe

Es considerado uno de los edificios residenciales más importantes del siglo XX. Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO

Villa Tugendhat fue encargada por los recién casados ​​adinerados Grete y Fritz Tugendhat, una pareja judía con dinero familiar de negocios de fabricación textil en Brno.

La casa de acero y vidrio presenta un plan abierto, una forma simple y grandes paredes de vidrio que conectan directamente el interior con los jardines exteriores. Una casa independiente de hormigón armado de tres plantas con un jardín de invierno, habitaciones para el servicio y una sala de estar con paredes de ónix, la Villa todavía tiene un aire futurista casi un siglo después de su construcción. Mies trabajó con la diseñadora de interiores Lily Reich y especificó

todos los muebles con lujosos materiales de varias maderas, piedras, terciopelo, sedas y cueros

La familia Tugendhat abandonó Checoslovaquia en 1938, antes de los Acuerdos de Munich. La Villa fue confiscada por la Gestapo y pasó a ser propiedad de los ricos alemanes (1942). La villa fue casi destruida porque se robaron las ventanas y los muebles o se usaron para leña. Durante los años siguientes, la Villa vio una variedad de usos, desde un establo para caballos soviéticos hasta una academia de baile.

En 2012, la obra maestra histórica reabrió al público después de haber sido restaurada y conservada con precisión.
