CI005.S1.1926.PR3
Description:
In addition to its regular municipal housing program, the city of Stuttgart initiated the Weissenhof estate project in 1925, which featured the design and construction of 40 homes as part of the international exhibition of modern construction. Originally intended as an affordable housing project, the plans were later tailored to meet the needs of educated middle class citizens. The exhibition featured the experimental designs of various architects, experimenting with home economics and new building types and materials. When it opened in 1927, the Weissenhof estate comprehended 21 projects of 63 dwellings with Oud contributing designs for five identical terraced homes that were built (Taverne et al. 2001, 291-297). Project series includes photographs of exterior and interior views of terraced housing as well as Oud's drawings for plans.
