"Growing up Modern"
Julia Jamrozik (Assistant Professor, Architecture)
Julia Jamrozik will discuss the research project "Growing up Modern" which she began with Coryn Kempster in 2014. Through original interviews and photographs the project documents the memories and retrospections of children who grew up in some of the most iconic buildings of the early 20th century, such as the Tugendhat Villa in Brno or the Haus Schminke in Loebau. By speaking with the serendipitous inhabitants of architectural visions and documenting their dwellings through the lens of these recollections, the research presents the buildings from a point of view, that of the user, that is not common in architectural history.
