Interwar Architecture in the Lower Posázaví - Invitation
The Regional Museum in Jílové near Prague cordially invites you to the exhibition Interwar Architecture in Lower Posázaví. The exhibition was conceived by Patrik Líbal and Martin Líbal. The opening of the exhibition will take place in the museum building at Masaryk Square 16 in Jílové near Prague on Friday, September 9, 2016, at 4:00 PM. The exhibition will last from September 9, 2016, to January 31, 2017.
The exhibition maps the development of construction between the two world wars in the area near the Czech metropolis, which is why we find quality works by both Prague and local architects here. Prestigious ateliers are represented, as well as relatively unknown local offices. The first part is dedicated to the town of Jílové, and further buildings are presented from the confluence with the Vltava, that is, from Davle or its right bank part Sázava, up to Hvězdonice. Among the most famous names represented are František Krásný, a student of Otto Wagner, Kamil Roškot, a student of Jan Kotěra, Jaroslav Fragner, a student of Josef Gočár, as well as his son Jiří Gočár, Eduard Hnilička, Alois Houba, Otto Kohn, Jan E. Koula, Josef Václavík, and others. Less known architects and builders include, for example, Antonín Fric, František Bouša, Ladislav Kolman, or Emil Sušický, whose realizations are often no less impressive. Special attention is given to František Troníček, who built for several architects but designed many houses himself. He did not only work in Posázaví but also left a considerable number of very high-quality realizations in Prague, where he collaborated with Otakar Novotný, Jaroslav Gruber, or Antonín Mendel.
The development in Lower Posázaví progressed from late historic architecture, through neoclassicism, moderate modernism, to functionalism, represented by objects with flat roofs and strip windows. The best examples of this style can be found not only in the famous Nespeky but also in Hrusice, Ládví, Senohraby, Turkovice, Zaječice, and Zlenice. The final episode consists of romanticizing buildings, close to the work of Vladimír Grégr, whose work is also represented here.
Typologically, this is not only about villas, whether built for permanent or summer residence, but also about sacred, sports, and banking buildings. There is also a functionalist railway stop that serves the Posázavský pacific. The exhibition ends on January 31, 2017.
