Few housing projects of the 1920s are as widely recognized as the Weissenhof estate on a hillside above Stuttgart, and this view shows one of its rows of small apartment houses. The estate was built in 1927 for an exhibition organized by the Deutscher Werkbund, which invited leading modernist architects to show how efficient, affordable housing could be designed for ordinary families. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe served as the exhibition's artistic director, and the project brought together designers from several countries, including Le Corbusier. The plain white walls and repeated rhythm of the blocks make the row a clear example of the new architecture of the period.
