House Neumeister - exhibition of sketches by Zvi Hecker at Villa Tugendhat
On Wednesday, May 9th at 7:00 PM, the opening of the exhibition "House Neumeister" will take place at the Tugendhat Villa in Brno, accompanied by a presentation of the work of the Israeli architect Zvi Hecker.
The Tugendhat Villa, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1930, showcases drawings and sketches created by architect Zvi Hecker in 2017-2018 for the "House Neumeister," located in Monte Fumo, Itri, between Naples and Rome. This is a silent dialogue between two family houses designed at different times and locations. The exhibition illustrates the lengthy design process of the "House Neumeister" through a series of consecutive drawings.
The exhibition in the technical floor of the Tugendhat Villa is accessible from May 10th to June 3rd, 2018, during the opening hours of the villa without prior reservation.
Zvi Hecker is an Israeli architect of Polish origin, born in 1931 in Krakow. He spent the war years in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. In 1956, he began studying architecture at the Polytechnic in Krakow, then emigrated to Israel and continued his studies at the Technion in Haifa. His professor was Alfred Neumann, who subsequently employed him in his studio. After Neumann's death in 1968, Zvi Hecker established his own architectural office. He also served as a teacher at many prestigious technical schools in the USA, Israel, and Vienna. The architect lives in Berlin and Tel Aviv. His building designs can be considered deconstructivist, rooted in functionality on one hand, while being subordinated to symbolic and geometric principles, possessing an almost sculptural character. Notable realizations include the Ramot Residential Complex, Jerusalem, Israel (1971–1975), the City Hall in Bat Yam, Israel (1960–1963), the Spiral Apartment Building, Ramat Gan, Israel (1985–1989), the Jewish School of Heinz Galinsky, Berlin, Germany (1991–1995), the Palmach Museum, Tel Aviv, Israel (1992–1998), collaboration with Rafi Segal, Jewish Cultural Center, Duisburg, Germany (1996–2000), the Museum of Palmach History, Tel Aviv, Israel (1993–1997), Queen Maxima Barracks, Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2001–2014). In 1996, he was awarded the German Critics' Prize for Architecture, and in 1999, the Rechter Prize for Architecture in Israel. Since 2013, he has been an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
