Growing Home: Archive of Master Architects’ Own Houses (1930s-1960s)

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.
