When it comes to preserving architecture, the focus is often on the facades and entrance halls that fall under general city laws regarding heritage. Flat interiors often are not protected since they are private spaces, and their preservation relies on the goodwill of their owners.
The modernist apartment blocks of the 1920s and 1930s must have looked incredible to city dwellers of that time, with their beautiful wavy shapes, shiny facades, porthole windows, and fancy walls concealing the latest innovations in household appliances.
Our research and documentation project on interwar modernist architecture, “Lviv. Modernist Architecture,” is beginning a collaboration with the ZMIN Foundation.
