Rostislav Koryčánek will guide you through the colony of Nový dům in the vicinity of Jurkovič's villa. The colony consists of sixteen family houses designed by functionalist architects Bohuslav Fuks, prof. Jiří Kroha, Jan Víšek, Arnošt Wiesner, and others. The entire project also involved architect Zdeněk Rossmann, who compiled and graphically designed the catalog for the exhibition of modern housing, Nový dům, held as part of the Exhibition of Contemporary Culture of the Czechoslovak Republic in Brno in 1928. We also recommend visiting the exhibition Zdeněk Rossmann: Horizons of Modernism at the Museum of Applied Arts, Husova 14. The architectural walk is free of charge. The meeting point is at 4 PM in front of Jurkovič's villa, J. Nečase 2.
