Rondo cubism
The Rondo-Cubism is a local special form of Cubism in architecture.
It developed after the First World War in the newly formed Czechoslovakia , where it became a national style for a short time, but was replaced by functionalism in the mid-1920s .
It is characterized by the introduction of round shapes such as semi-arcs, circles and ovals; it was intended to evoke echoes of the national Slavic traditions . Rondo cubism was preferred in Prague, but also in industrial architecture in the surrounding area.
The main works of architectural rondo cubism are the Legionnaires Bank's office building, Legiobanka for short by Josef Gočár and the Adria Palace by Pavel Janák in Prague.
Rondo cubism also manifested itself partly in painting, for example by Josef Čapek , and in object design; there are still some complete room fittings by Bohumil Waigant and Josef Gočár.
