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.

SOMMER DER KÜNSTE – Villa Massimo zu Gast in Stuttgart
18 artists at 8 locations

The Roman summer arrives in Stuttgart. The German Academy of Rome Villa Massimo is presenting itself in Baden-Württemberg for the first time. Two academic years will be showing their works created in Rome or especially for the presentation in Stuttgart. This weekend’s programme ranges from concerts, readings and exhibitions to guided tours, panel discussions and installations in public spaces.

The PROGRAMME of all institutions can be found here
or as a download: Flyer_Sommer der Künste_Web

The architect and Rome Prize winner SUSANNE BRORSON is showing her work saisonaler salon (Bruckmannweg 10) in the WEISSENHOF ESTATE. And in the Weissenhofwerkstatt im Haus Mies van der Rohe she will show more of her work in the exhibition seasonal spontaneous.

saisonaler salon
Rome, Stuttgart, Rügen, Riga: the saisonaler salon by architect Susanne Brorson will stop off at these locations on its journey. The saisonaler salon is a pavilion that focuses on experimental and circular building with renewable raw materials. The architect clads the modular wooden structure ever more densely with grasses and materials that she collects on site. In hot Rome, grasses from the Villa Massimo garden are used as sun protection on the roof. In Stuttgart, the open side surfaces are given a weatherproof façade cladding with material that Brorson harvests in the region and on the exhibition site. On the island of Rügen, it will be set afloat and then connect two architecture faculties in Riga as part of the Floating Campus. Follow the journey of the saisonaler salon on Instagram
