How about some proper modernism 100 odd years on?

[Grant Fondo]

Maison de Verre, Paris.
Kind of makes you wonder what's been going on for a century?
Any other gems with that 'shock of the new' factor?

I'll never forget seeing this for the first time. Bedford Park, London, 1891. CFA Voysey. It cost £494 to build.

 

[Once a Wheeler]

Not normally included in the repertoire of modernist buildings, here's one we all know and love:

the London Olympic Velodrome, well worthy of its place as an architectural gem.

 

[Cycleops]

Don't forget it also includes design for fabric and wallpaper. These are some by Voysey.

Barcelona Pavillion, 1928.
Most likely the best 'modern' building i've seen, no photo does it justice.

Falling Water 1935.
In the middle of chuffin' nowhere but worth the trip. House is directly over the waterfall ... stinks of damp inside. Funny that

Always remember seeing a William Morris exhibition years ago and his wallpaper was also fantastic. 1870's I think?

Frank Lloyd Wright.
He designed some absolutely iconic homes.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

He also designed many different styles.

Huge shout to Lutyens too. I nearly bought a Lutyens house once (no, not a famous one), and would have done but for some shenanigans from the seller. It's still a beautiful thing, incidentally - it's one of two inner gatehouses on the last grand house he designed, just before WW2:

Vienna Steiner House 1910

 

[Regular.Cyclist]

Dupli Casa in Stuttgart is reckoned to be up there among the most modern designs.

One of my first jobs was doing up a Lutyens office in London, even found the original velum drawings with 1920's cars on!

When i took the kids to the Eden Project i had planned to snick off the day after to visit Lutyen's Castle Drogo ... closed for essential repairs, doh!
