This exhibition will focus on the seven characteristics of modern houses: hygiene, materials, windows, kitchen, furnishings, media, and landscape. Approximately 15 masterworks of residential architecture worldwide will be analyzed in-depth through photographs and drawings, sketches, models, furniture, textiles, tableware, magazines, graphics, and films.
The modernity of residential architecture that will be presented in this exhibition continues to resonate today, proving a chance to reflect on our living spaces and way of living.
