Film screening
7 October 2023 7-9:30pm
We are pleased to host the first screening of this film in France, in presence of Natascha Drabbe, founder of the Iconic Houses Network.
How did progressive architecture develop in The Netherlands in the past hundred years and what have the residents of ‘normal houses’ gained from the wild experiments that the architects have sometimes carried out? This film has put the strongest examples of innovative, avant-garde residential architecture in the spotlight for you in five themes. In this feature length film, twenty iconic houses across the Netherlands are discussed by experts: from the Amsterdam School and De Stijl to Postmodernism, from Gerrit Rietveld to Mart van Schijndel and many others. There are also famous examples of social housing, an area in which the Netherlands was particularly rich.
Themes addressed in the film include:
- Hygiene and Health in the Modern Home
- Palaces for the People
- A Woman’s Place: Clients & Architects
- Experiments with Space
- Home as Self-Portrait: Architect’s Houses
The film is in Dutch with English subtitles
