Growing Home: Archive of Master Architects’ Own Houses

The early modern architecture is diverse, some of which are still maintaining their vitality until now. This exhibition focus on architects’ own houses, most of which are works during the modern movement. In this case, the architect is both the designer and the client, and the house is where they work and live. Daily life within the house is a manifesto of both the architecture and a distinct way of living. The house is both a warm harbor meanwhile a business card for the architect. Undoubtedly, the houses present the architects’ respective visions, which grow with times and allow us to examine the richness of modern architecture.

 

Heritage and Public Recognition

 

13 houses and a housing cluster are selected as research subjects. In order to study and reveal the relationship between different architectural elements, materials such as surveys, archives, 3d models, axonometric drawings map were included. The scope of the study span across five continents, searching for houses that had become heritage or Iconic Houses. Most of the houses by European or American architects are hosted by foundations or museums and only 11 houses are regularly or permanently open to the public, which have become great examples of preservation internationally. Among the 14 houses, house by Lin Keming’s and the clusters in the former French Concession in China are not open to the public. The exhibition re-examines the subtle relationship between the houses and the architects’ career path which is also the fading memory of the metropolis.

 

Asian Architects in a Global Perspective

 

Many Asian architects received their architectural training in Europe or the United States. The culture and historical background of these countries in which they studied have deep influences in their future practices. Some of these architects were fighting for national independence. Creation and struggle are the norms in life. The houses of great Asian architects are the witnesses of the unique history of Asian countries. The exhibition attempts to show the practices of Asian architects during the modern architectural movement.
