Give and take

摘要

The Weissenhof Estate, set on Stuttgart's Killesberg hills, made a name for itself when it was established in 1927, as a hot bed for the young trailblazers of the modern movement. With designs that embodied new ways of living (the 'Neues Bauen'), the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, JJP Oud, Hans Scharoun and Bruno Taut, adopted design strategies and building techniques that were to prove exemplars for the future of housing.
