ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
'The Art Nouveau Dacha’ exhibition will display drawings from this rare book, originally published in St Petersburg in 1917 just weeks before the Revolution – beside photographs of their still-surviving cousins. The photos have been collected from across modern Russia and the former Russian empire in an attempt to record some of these unique wooden designs before they disappear forever. This eminently practical exhibition and book provides a powerful link to a style of architecture that was to vanish almost permanently from drawing-boards. These buildings were created at a time when the Russian dacha served as a small, wooden, ecologically-friendly cottage, blending-in elegantly with its local environment.
‘The Art Nouveau Dacha’ has been edited and recreated by Peter Nasmyth, a British writer and publisher. He says of it on the book’s back cover "the arrival of Art Nouveau released powerful new elements of design into the way dachas were constructed. But interestingly this international movement served more to compliment than overwhelm the dachas’ charm and individual qualities."
The ‘modern’ designs in this book (as Art Nouveau was called in Russia), were originally subtitled ‘Cheap Buildings’ to illustrate their availability to all. Presented here with full architectural drawings, plans and measurements, these increasingly ‘modern’ designs for us today, stand ready not only to be distantly admired, but also used again.
The foreword of the book is written by HRH The Prince of Wales, the Patron of INTBAU.
'The Art Nouveau Dacha' exhibition will be open to the public from 16th - 21 February 2010. The exhibition will be held at the Gallery of The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment: 19-22 Charlotte Road, EC2A 3SG, London, United Kingdom.
The Gallery will be open from 9.00 – 6.00 pm every day except Sunday.
Admission is free.
