Description
This text explores the architecture of the Prague Werkbund Housing Estate "Baba", which is a symbol of architectural modernism in the Czech republic. Three generations of architects were active in this area; the older generation, still influenced by Cubism, include Janak and Gocar; the middle generation whose works were purist and functionalist, include Linhart and Stary; and the younger generation, for example, Ladislav Zak, who with their sweeping forms wished to distance themselves from white functionalism.
