[.en] Built on an expansive, sloping site situated in the northern part of Brno, Mies van der Rohe's Villa Tungendhat is a masterful example of 20th-century residential architecture. Since its seizure in World War II, the house has endured a long period of decline and relative obscurity, a former shade of itself. Painstakingly renovated over a number of years, its three levels and full-height glass walls have now regained their former lustre, gorgeously framed by the camera of esteemed Japanese photographer Yoshio Futagawa. As he writes in his accompanying text, ' clad in luxury that is almost impossible to duplicate, the house is a crystallization of modern architectural principles.'
