History of Architecture and Design Season 1 Episode 10
Overview:
The Weissenhof Siedlung, built in Stuttgart in 1927 for the housing exhibition sponsored by the Werkbund, proved to be a turning point in the self-identification of the International Style. The Weissenhof Siedlung was intended as a ‘manifesto’ demonstration of Modern Movement architects’ abilities in the field of housing. In Television broadcast 10, Tim Benton looks at work by Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, J. J. P. Oud, Mart Stam, Hans Sharoun and Le Corbusier, to assesses how far the work matches up to the architects’ ideals.
