Functional Villa Tugendhat and its Geological Subsoil - Design of a New Geotourism Place

The Tugendhat Villa, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built between 1928 and 1930, stands as a significant pre-war architectural masterpiece. Recognized for its cultural importance, the villa has faced historical challenges, including confiscation during World War II and subsequent renovations that revealed geological instability, such as landslides. These findings highlight the interplay between architectural heritage and geological subsoil, making it an ideal candidate for geotourism. The study emphasizes the villa's potential to serve as a unique educational and tourist destination, blending architectural history with geological insights.
