Villa Tugendhat
Address
Cernopolní 45
613 00 Brno
Czech Republic
http://www.tugendhat-villa.cz/html.en/index.html
.
Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic, was built for Fritz and
Gerta Tugendhat, an entrepreneuring couple in the textile
industry. Employing Mies van der Rohe, Mr. Tugendhat stressed
that he was "utterly horrified by rooms full of figurines and
blankets". The villa, built between 1927-1930, consists of three
floors. On the first one (the basement floor), utility areas for
maintenance and technical operations of the house are located.
The second, the main floor, contains a representative living
room, a library, a winter garden and a dining room. On the third
floor are bedrooms and a bathroom. The building is constructed
with a steel frame, which permits to create a spatial and bright
interior. The whole interior of the house was also designed
especially for the Tugendhats, with the use of sophisticated
materials like travertine, milk glass, chrome-coated metal,
stainless steel, honey-yellow onyx and exotic wood.

Casa del Fascio in Lissone
Address
Piazza Libertà 1
20035 Lissone
Italy
.
The Casa Del Fascio in Lissone is one of many former Fascist
institutions in Italy. They were built during the Fascist period
between World War I and World War II. These institutions were
designed to be gathering places on Saturdays to spread the
Fascist propaganda. The Casa Del Fascio in Lissone is not as well
known as the one in Como but is no less important. At first your
eye is drawn to the pink marble platform jutting out of the brick
enclosed staircase, which was used by Mussolini for his public
speeches. Afterwards you realize how small you are in comparison
to the huge public piazza that is still the main centre of Lissone
today.

Villa Bianca
Address
Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi
20030 Seveso
Italy
.
Villa Bianca in Seveso, north of Milan, is a good example of Italian
Rationalism by architect Giuseppe Terragni. The house is one of
many he designed in Milan and vicinity, all of them experiments
that show his research on shape, even in the face of more binding
professional commissions. Terragni designed Villa Bianca in 1937
and played with its composition. The enclosed volume is still
articulated thanks to the body projected towards the outside on
the ground floor, as well as to the podium and the playful
combination of protuberances in the crowning mezzanines (text
from website Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea).

Casa Rustici
Address
Corso Sempione 36
20154 Milan

.
This housing complex in Milan was built by famous fascist

development of livable and cheap housing in 1930s Italy. Casa
Rustica is located on Corso Sempione, an inportant thoroughfare
to get into Milan's city centre. It has got a rooftop garden, to be
used by all the building's occupants.

Monument To The Fallen
Address
Via Gaincarlo Puecher
22100 Como
Italy
.
In the 1930s, the National Fascist Party became a bigger and
bigger factor in the political landscape of Italy. Their influence
found its expression in modern buildings, in contrast to Nazi
Germany which preferred traditional, stately architecture. In
1931, Giuseppe Terragni and his brother were asked by the
fascists to design a monument for the victims of World War I.
Their design was based on a sketch of the Italian futurist Antonio
Sant'Elia, whose sketches showed modernity, dynamics and
speed. Most of his designs were never built, but his futurist vision
has influenced many architects. Made of Serizzo granite and
Nabresina marble, the monument has a surface polished like a
mirror and shows that the Terragni brothers have skillfully
adapted Sant'Elia's vision.

Asilo Sant'Elia
Address
Via Andrea Alciato 15
22100 Como
Italy
.
The main entrance is protected by an ample cantilevered
portico, whose function is providing shelter for the relatives
waiting for the children and for the children themselves as they
throng to the exit. The ample, well-lit atrium is part of a larger
covered space forming the recreational centre. The kindergarten
is to be considered a home for a large family, which has
encouraged avoiding long, monotonous corridors. Hence, the
principal rooms, classrooms, refectory and offices are located
around this atrium-recreational centre that lies at the heart of
the building. In summer time, the glass wall separating the two
recreational zones may be folded back to create one single,
easily supervised area. A large ramp leads to the solarium located
above the portico and is decorated with a hanging garden. This
feature has a highly useful function of offering protection from
the excesses of temperature and climate for the underlying
rooms.

Novocomum
Address
Viale Giuseppe Sinigaglia
22100 Como
Italy
.
From 1927 to 1929 Giuseppe Terragni designed the Novocomum, a
modern apartment complex. He presented a proposal with very
traditional sides to the municipality, which they approved. The
scaffolding was placed and construction was started. However,
the construction drawings which were presented to the
municipality have never been received by the builders, which he
gave a new proposal. Nobody could see what was developing
behind the scaffolding. At the moment of presenting the finished
building, it was a big shock. An awful building had risen up,
according to the municipality. There was even a moment they
considered demolishing it, until they realized that the
avant-gardists loved the building and it made Como an even more
popular destination. Terragni was looking for a good combination
between surrounding landscape and the building. This Rationalist
thinking ended up in a well-designed apartment complex.

Casa Giuliani Frigero
Address
Viale Fratelli Rosselli 24
22100 Como
Italy
.
Giuseppe Terragni's last project before he died at the age of 39
was Casa Giuliani Frigero. The housing complex is just 100 metres
away from his first project, the Novocomum. This block is much
smaller but the façades are much more complex. The Novocomum
was a benchmark in the search for modern forms and the Casa
Giuliani Frigero is a well-designed last composition in Terragni's
Rationalist oeuvre.
