4th Iconic Houses Lecture Tour Europe - Restoring Eileen Gray’s Villa E-1027
Restoring Eileen Gray’s Villa E-1027 and Clarifying the Controversies
Tim Benton on Eileen Gray’s Tour de Force
Iconic Houses’ 2018 Lecture Tour focused on Eileen Gray's epochal Villa E-1027 and was held in five venues in four European countries. Professor emeritus Tim Benton discusses the restoration of the furniture and the various controversies that have coloured the way the house and its contents have been understood. After many years of struggle to get the restoration and management of Villa E-1027 on track, Eileen Gray’s tour de force is open to the public and a member of the Iconic Houses Network since 2015. Following to the lecture a film by Vincent Cattaneo was screened that documents the restoration work carried out by the Association Cap Moderne between 2015 and 2017.
The lecture was organized by the Iconic Houses Network in cooperation with:
• National Museum and held at Villa Stenersen in Oslo, Norway, 9 October 2018

5th International Iconic Houses Lecture Tour - Melnikov House: Saving an Avant-Garde Icon
Melnikov House: Saving an Avant-Garde Icon
The 5th edition of the International Iconic Houses Lecture Tour took place in Europe from 7-15 October 2019, when Pavel Kuznetsov, Director of the State Museum of Konstantin and Viktor Melnikov and Deputy Director of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow toured six iconic houses in six European cities with his lecture on the Melnikov House in Moscow.
The Melnikov House
The Melnikov House, designed by architect Konstantin Melnikov (1890-1974) for himself and his family, is an icon of the Russian architectural avant-garde. The experimental cylindrical structure was built between 1927 and 1929 to test Melnikov’s concepts for mass-produced housing. Melnikov believed that the essence of his house lay in the balance and equivalence of weight, light, air and heat. The original layout, elegant spatial arrangement, and ingenious engineering techniques are combined in a unique architectural form that still looks modern. Retaining some historic elements of the 20th century, the house also reflects the tragic life of this solo architect in a collectivist society.
Pavel Kuznetsov discusses the history of the Melnikov House from its inception in the early 20th century through establishing the museum in 2014 and conservation project nowadays. He explores the newly found information that uncovered the architectural, engineering, and philosophical ideas lying behind Melnikov’s ambitious plan to build an architectural manifesto in 1920s Soviet Russia.
Film
A long fragment of the documentary 'Konstantin Melnikov' (1999) by Jet Christiaanse and Marjo Leupers accompanies the lecture to see the person of Melnikov in a historic context of the 20th century through the eyes of architectural historians and Melnikov’s son, the artist Viktor Melnikov (1914-2006). The film is already a piece of its time when the future of the Melnikov House and other buildings designed by Melnikov was uncertain.
Pavel Kuznetsov
Pavel Kuznetsov, is an economist by education, and a researcher in Soviet avant-garde architecture by vocation. He lives in a constructivist apartment in a house commune in Moscow and works as deputy director of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture. Since 2014, he has overseen the collections and archives of the Melnikov House and its transition from a private home to a public museum. As director of the State Museum of Konstantin and Viktor Melnikov he also directed the pre-conservation survey of the Melnikov House, supported by a grant from Keeping it Modern, an initiative of the Getty Foundation.
About the ICONIC HOUSES Lecture Series
The Iconic Houses Lecture Series launched in 2014 in five cities in Europe to raise awareness about modern house museums and their frequent struggles to survive. As speakers, we welcomed the directors of and experts on some of the world’s most Iconic Houses, such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Eileen Gray’s Villa E-1027. The initiative in Europe was taken by five house museums: Sonneveld House, Haus Ungers, Villa Stenersen, Villa Tugendhat en het Van Schijndel House, followed in 2018 by Villa Müller.
ICONIC HOUSES Lectures in the US and Canada
After the successful tours in Europe, Iconic Houses is launching its first Iconic Houses Lecture Tour to three venues in the US and Canada in February 2020, with Pavel Kuznetsov’s lecture on the Melnikov House. All previous lectures can be found as video on the Iconic Houses website:

Lyrics:
Selmas Sang
(Skram/Stenersen/Teksum)
Lengtar du vekk frå det store
og tomme og grå
Vegen er lang
men eg veit at du orka å gå
Inni deg brenn det ei stjerne
så sterk og klar
I lyset frå den skal du finne
tilbake til det som var
Fly som ein fugl
Lag deg ein veg
Så du kan komme heim til meg
Du kan gå mange mil
Men kor høyrer du til
Kor høyrer du til
Regndråpar faller og faller
tar fargane bort
Du er uendelig liten
men håpet er stort
Eg høyrer til deg
og sånn vil det alltid bli
Eg drøymer at snart er du her
og legg handa di trygt i mi
Fly som ein fugl
Lag deg ein veg
Så du kan komme heim til meg
Høyr på min sang
Snart er du varm
Du kan få sovne i min favn
Du kan gå mange mil
Om du veit kva du vil
Men kvar høyrer du til
