La Maison Tropicale
Last Friday I attended the press conference for La Maison Tropicale. Saved from the jungle of Brazzaville and brought to the banks of the Thames comes a legendary tropical villa. This prototype Modernist house was designed in the Fifties by French architect Jean Prouvé. The “flatpack” iconic building is shown in Britain for the first time by the Design Museum in partnership with Tate Modern. From today (5th Feb) you can visit historic piece of architecture. The exhibition; ‘Jean Prouvé – The Poetics of the Technical Object’ is showing at the Design Museum until 13 April.
