Since 2016 two buildings by Le Corbusier in Stuttgarts Weissenhofsiedlung have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Entitled “The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier – An Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement,” his work is an outstandung

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.

The Weissenhofsiedlung is a milestone of architectural modernism and was built in 1927 by 17 international architects. The occasion was the exhibition “Die Wohnung” of the the German Werkbund. The basis was the urban , which was under the artistic direction of Mies can der Rohe. The guided tour (no interior visits) explains the background of the housing estate, with a focus on Le Corbusier’s two houses, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2016. In the semi-detached houses, Le Corbusier realized his “Five Points of a New Architecture” and thus coined a new formal language.

Meeting point: At the advertising column, opposite of the entrance of the Weissenhof Museum in Le Corbusier House, Rathenaustr. 1 – duration approx. 45 minutes.

The architecture forum Die Raumgalerie and the Weissenhofmuseum are jointly presenting a double exhibition on the work of the photo artist Arina Dähnick in the Le Corbusier house in Stuttgart. In recent years, Dähnick has received several awards for her exhibitions and publications, in particular for the work of the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Her photographic works can be found in prominent collections.

The first part of the double exhibition takes visitors to the architecture forum Die Raumgalerie, where Dähnick shows an exclusive selection of her “Architectural Portraits”. With them, the photographer takes a very personal and at the same time sensual look at the architecture that she has captured during her numerous travels. The images create a multi-faceted play between external reality and the imaginative inner eye, thereby provoking an almost intimate experience.

What place could be more suitable for the second part of the exhibition than the Weissenhof workshop in Mies van der Rohe’s house. Dähnick’s works from the series “The MIES Project” and previews of her new project “Living with MIES” can be seen here. The partly large-format pictures show reflections, reflections and shadow plays in iconic buildings such as the Berlin National Gallery, the Barcelona Pavilion or the Villa Tugendhat. Far removed from documentary architectural photography, Dähnick manages to come close to the spell and fascination of Mies’ architecture.

In collaboration with the flautist Prof. Stephanie Winker and Leipzig based artist NK Doege, the Weissenhof Museum has developed an exciting concert to conclude this year’s summer festival on the Killesberg. The concert will refer to Le Corbusier’s work “The Modulor”, in which he put into words what affected him throughout his life: the search for a simple system of proportions based on the human body, that could be used anywhere in the world in order to design harmonious rooms and buildings. In this Le Corbusier draws on mathematics and music in numerous instances. “Music is, as with architecture, time and space. Music and architecture depend on measure.” For Le Corbusier rhythm, intervals and the golden ratio were means of getting closer to his goal of a more harmonious world.

For the concert, NK Doege designed installations based on Le Corbusiers Modulor. In these the three musicians, Marta Klimasara on drums, Panu Sundqvist on cello and Stephanie Winker on flute will play they respecive instruments. They respond with works of music by Bach, Xenakis and Globokar to texts read from Le Corbusier’s works of writing.

We would like to thank the Wüstenrot Foundation and the Cultural Office of the City of Stuttgart for their financial support.
