DEUTSCHEN WERKBUND. Bau und Wohnung. Die Bauten der Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart errichtet1927 nach Vorschlägen des Deutschen Werkbundes im Auftrag der StadtStuttgart und im Rahmen der Werkbundaustellung "Die Wohnung".
Stuttgart: Fr. Wedekind, 1927 Very Good. Stuttgart: Fr. Wedekind, 1927. Slim 4to, tan linen lettered in black and red. Little bump to upper rear cover else extremely nice. With 152 pages and dozens of photographs and plans. The 1927 building exposition on a hill in Weissenhof, superintended by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is considered the highpoint of early modern architecture. Sixteen architects from five European countries were invited to erect prototypes for affordable workers' housing from free-standing villas to row houses to apartment buildings. . The designs are described by their architects, who include Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, Victor Bourgeois, Le Corbusier, Richard Döcker, Hans Scharoun, Ludwig Hilberseimer, J.J.P. Oud, Bruno and Max Taut, and Mies himself, who encouraged the International Style: cubic, flatroofed, light colored and minimalist. Whittick, Encyclopedia of Modern Architecture: "The housing exhibition proved to be one of the most important events in domestic architecture in the period between the two wars. Its historical value is that it demonstrated, in a concentrated form, the stages reached in the evolution of house design and construction in 1927 by the most progressive architectural thought in Europe.".
