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.

Before the saisonale salon travels on, we want to say good-bye at a Finissage.

In the pavilion, Susanne Brorson discusses renewable building materials with Monika Göbel (IntCDC Stuttgart) and Andreas Hofer (Intendant IBA’27). Based on their work and projects, the panellists will demonstrate the use of wood, straw and other materials in various buildings. We will then discuss: Where do we stand today? What are the challenges of using this kind of materials in everyday life today and what visions does the future hold? How will craftsmanship and computer technology work together in the future and how can we bring to light the experience of previous generations and the role models in nature?

Heritage Day
Under the motto “Wahr-Zeichen. Zeitzeugen der Geschichte”, the Heritage Day is being celebrated nationwide this year, coordinated by the German Foundation for Monument Protection.

The winner has been announced!

The renowned architectural firm Barkow Leibinger – together with the construction company Zech Hochbau – is to be awarded the contract in the competition for the new visitor and information centre at Weissenhof.

Suse Kletzin, Chairwoman of the association Friends of the Weissenhof Estate: “A great result! The design by Barkow Leibinger not only offers architectural quality on a site steeped in history, but also guarantees that the project will be completed on schedule. A load off my mind! The years of voluntary work by the board and many club members are now paying off for a new building.”

The new building is intended to take the pressure off the Le Corbusier semi-detached house, which has been awarded the UNESCO World Heritage label, in order to preserve it for future generations. As a former residential building, it is already too small for large numbers of visitors. The new BIZ is intended to serve as a point of orientation for the numerous international visitors to the Weissenhof Estate. Especially for the 100th anniversary of the estate in 2027 and the IBA’27 StadtRegion Stuttgart, which is being organised also to mark the occasion.

The Association Friends of the Weissenhof Estate has been committed to the preservation, future and communication of the Weissenhof Estate since its founding in 1977 and took over the running of the Weissenhof Museum on behalf of the City of Stuttgart in 2006. The association had a leading role in ensuring that Le Corbusier’s semi-detached house is accessible today, as the only house in the estate.

The director of the Weissenhof Museum, Anja Krämer, is delighted with the competition decision and the long-awaited start of construction: “The new building will provide us with an urgently needed extension so that we can respond even better to the needs and expectations of Weissenhof visitors worldwide. 17 years after the opening of the current museum, we are delighted to be able to offer people a contemporary and attractive museum experience, in addition to the original Le Corbusier house, that lives up to the historical significance of the Weissenhof Estate.”

The visitor and information centre will be run by the Friends of the Weissenhof Estate from 2027, in cooperation with the Stadtpalais – Museum für Stuttgart. Visitors to the new building can expect an exhibition area of around 600 square metres, a café, a shop and rooms for events and administration.

The upcoming Franco-German summer of sport – first the European Football Championships in Germany and then the Olympic Games in Paris – offers a unique opportunity to question ourselves about our lifestyles and the way we (want to) inhabit the world of today and tomorrow.

Five partner organizations: Institut francais Stuttgart (overall coordination), Architekturgalerie am Weissenhof, IBA’27 Friends, BDA Baden-Württemberg and the Weissenhof Museum in Le Corbusier House, invite you to experience the exhibition “Ça bouge en ville! – Get moving!” in the form of a trail.

This begins in the Weissenhof workshop in the Mies van der Rohe House and is dedicated to the combination of Le Corbusier’s architecture with sporting practice. In the Weissenhof workshop, we are also showing an exhibition in the table showcases on the role of sport for Le Corbusier and the other Weissenhof architects. This supplementary exhibition was curated by Kathrin Wagner-Douglas.

The second stop will be the architecture gallery at Weissenhof. The focus there will be on issues relating to spatial concepts and sustainable sports facilities. Visitors should plan around 50 minutes (3.6 km) for their walk from the north of Stuttgart to the city center to the next stop, the BDA Wechselraum (near the main train station), where future concepts will be discussed that deal with the conditions and requirements for sport in urban spaces. Via an intermediate stop, the IBA’27 space (Calwerstr./corner of Kienestr.), the route continues to the fifth and final stop, the Institut français on Berliner Platz. Here everything revolves around e-sports.

About the exhibition

In 2023, with the organisation in France of two major sporting events – the Rugby World Cup and the future Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024 – the Site Le Corbusier invites us to look at our way of living in today’s and tomorrow’s world. The exhibition Let’s move in the city! Sport and Architecture for Tomorrow, created by the architectural agency, DREAM, questions the place of sport in the city of tomorrow. In 2020, the lockdown caused by the COVID epidemic has turned the city into an open-air gymnasium, even a place of daily practice. In 2022, the Football World Cup in Qatar triggered a wave of indignation. This constant media coverage of professional sport reveals its growing role and the issues it raises in our contemporary societies. Essential to public health and a vector of socialisation, sport is at the same time a leisure, a set of techniques and an economic issue. It constitutes an institutional organisation and is at the heart of territorial political strategies.

The first International Congresses of Modern Architecture in the 1930s increased the general awareness about the influence of sport in the design of space on an urban scale. In Firminy, the Centre for re‑creation of the body and mind designed by Le Corbusier is an example of this functionalist urbanism where people should not only work but also have access to leisure. Today, the overall increase of leisure and entertainment sports – associated with the development of new forms of practices and uses – implements the need for new organisations, and relationships with the territories.

This requires a renewal of architectural programmes in rapidly changing cities. The exhibition presents a first approach based on interactive immersive and innovative devices.
