Charles Jencks? Post-modernist Masterpiece To Open To The Public
Thursday 17th of June 2021 – The Cosmic House in Holland Park, the former home of the globally renowned architectural historian and cultural theorist, Charles Jencks (1939 -2019) will open to the public on 24 September 2021 as a museum and archive which will host a programme of exhibitions, talks, and residencies. The Solar Stair is a cantilever concrete spiral with Eduardo Paolozzi?s Black Hole mosaic at the base:

The Cosmic House is one of the world?s most important examples of postmodern architecture and design and the UK?s only Grade I listed Post War home. Begun in 1978, the conversion of the house was a collaboration between Charles and Maggie Jencks and the architect Terry Farrell with contributions from Piers Gough, Eduardo Paolozzi, Michael Graves, Allen Jones and others. As the spiritual home of Postmodernist design, it hosted conversations with the leading architects and thinkers of the day. Its symbolic architecture, complex iconography and cosmic references are all imbued with Jencks? characteristic learning and wit.
