About functionalism
Functionalism
The replacement of Art Nouveau with Modernist art after the First World War saw the application of a new style marked by flat roofs, clean line and well-lit interiors: Functionalism. This style, where technical intentions and purpose go hand-in-hand with art, found wide application in buildings of all types and sizes.
7 Functionalist Gems in Brno
When Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918, Brno, a city in South Moravia, became the second largest city in the new country and as such its political, economic and cultural ambitions were also reflected in housing development. Thus, Brno became one of the leading centres of functionalism in Central Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
