Weissenhof Apartment Building

1927Stuttgart, Germany

Weissenhof Apartment Building
The apartment block at the 1927 Weissenhof exhibition. Mies also helped coordinate the show—a core of the international modern housing display. Sits beside Le Corbusier’s houses in the same exhibition (weissenhof-houses in this catalog). Compare shared early-modern vocabulary—standardization, white boxes, roof use—and differences.

Highlights

  • Building volume — How does façade repetition differ between house and apartment?
  • Exhibition neighborhood — Against neighboring architects’ works, what is shared and what differs?
