EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Modernist Exhibition House, a groundbreaking architectural masterpiece designed by William Tatton Brown and exhibited at Olympia in 1937. The Modernist movement, characterized by its sleek lines, functional design, and rejection of ornamentation, was in full swing during this period, and this house exemplified the movement's ideals. Designed in 1936, the Modernist Exhibition House was a frame building, showcasing the versatility and strength of this construction method. The architect, William Tatton Brown, skillfully employed clean lines, large expanses of glass, and a minimalist aesthetic, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. The image captures the house in all its glory, with the sun casting long shadows on the grassy lawn and highlighting the geometric patterns of the house's exterior. The large windows offer a glimpse into the interior, where the open floor plan and minimalist decor further emphasize the Modernist ethos. The Modernist Exhibition House was a sensation at the Olympia exhibition, attracting crowds of visitors and generating widespread acclaim. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Modernist design, which continues to inspire architects and designers to this day. This photograph is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast archive of historical images that offers a unique window into the past. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Modernist architecture, design history, or the evolution of residential architecture.
