Abstract
In summer of 1927, in a suburb of Stuttgart, an exhibition housing settlement built by sixteen of leading architects of Modern Movement opended to public. Greeted as a major event by advocates and opponents of new architecture, Weissenhof Siedling continues to excite strong interest. This unusally cohesive yet varied group of apartment buildings, row houses, and single-family houses--hailed by Philip Johnson as the most important group of buildings in modern architecture--remains a critical project in history of twentieth-century architecture. Richard Pommer and Christian F. Otto offer a comprehensive account of Weissenhof in relation to emergence and reception of modern architecture in 1920s.
