Responding to the challenges of architecture and society in the 20th Century, Le Corbusier’s contribution to the Moderne Movement aimed to instigate a unique forum of ideas at a world level; it facilitated the invention of a new architectural language and the modernization of architectural techniques; it met the social and human needs of modern man.

Le Corbusiers semi-detached houses in Stuttgart are now home to the Weissenhof Museum. This pioneering example of architectural modernism was built as part of the Werkbund exhibition in 1927.

In one side of the museum, the history of the Weissenhof housing estate is on display, with models, photos, plans and various exhibits. The other side of the house shows the Le Corbusier house in 1927, with the recontructed original room layout, color scheme and furnishings.
