The IBA’27 Festival #2 marks an important milestone on the way to the International Building Exhibition 2027. It focusses on the current IBA projects, their innovative planning approaches and ideas as well as the people who implement the projects. The festival offers guided tours, festivities, panel discussions and hands-on formats. You will gain insights into the current status of the projects as well as on the future of the building sector and living together in the Stuttgart Region. For the full program of the IBA’27 Festival click here.

The Weissenhof Museum is also participating with a program

In 2027, the Weissenhof Estate will take centre stage. The estate is celebrating its 100th anniversary and is therefore also a central reference for IBA’27. By 2027, a new visitor and information centre will be built by the state capital Stuttgart. It will be the central starting point for all people who visit the Weissenhof Estate in the future to learn more about the history of this international icon of modern architecture. The new building is intended to support Le Corbusiers semi-detached house and preserve it for future generations. The house has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage seal and accomodates the Weissenhof Museum. As a former residential building, it is already too small for the ever-increasing number of visitors.

The new visitor and information centre, designed by the internationally renowned architects Barkow Leibinger, has been designated an ‘IBA project’. It is therefore at the centre of the Weissenhof Museum’s program for the second IBA’27 festival. In an exhibition at the Weissenhofwerkstatt im Haus Mies van der Rohe, displaying floor plans and others as well as material samples you can find out more about the innovative architecture of the building and the multi-award-winning office.

Another exhibition organised by the Friends of the Weissenhof Estate can be seen in a house of the “Beamtensiedlung am Weissenhof” that is only open to the public for a short time. The exhibition deals with the developments in the Weissenhof Estate throughout the upcoming years.
