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.

Do you remember how the Long Night of Museums had to be canceled at short notice two years ago due to the emerging corona pandemic? And also could not take place last year either? Now we are really looking forward to May 21, 2022 when we will be able to take cultured night owls on a nightly walk through the Weissenhofsiedlung again. Visitors get to know the settlement in a completely different way: in night-time lighting and with original quotes from 1927, the year it was built. Among others, the participating architects Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Mart Stam and Le Corbusier will have their say. The O-Tone night tours will take place every 45 minutes from 6:30 p.m.

Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to visit the interior of the Weissenhof Museum, instead we offer cold drinks, pretzels and – of course – exciting insights into Stuttgart’s modernity.

Participation will only be possible with a valid ticket for the Long Night of Museums. For more information please visit www.lange-nacht.de

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Le Corbusier in Belgium. A lecture in English by Marc Dubois as part of the French Weeks Stuttgart 2022

The lecture is about the five projects that Le Corbusier designed in Belgium, three of that were realised. A year before the Weissenhofsiedlung in Stuttgart, the Guiette House was built in Antwerp in 1926. In 1935 Le Corbusier designed and realized the “Pavillon du Jeune Homme” in Brussels together with Charlotte Perriand. Another important project by Le Corbusier after 1945 was the Philips Pavilion, built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair.
The second part of the lecture shows the influence of Le Corbusier on the works of the Belgian architects Gaston Eysselinck (1907-1953) and Leon Stijnen (1899-1990).

Marc Dubois is a Belgian architect and author of numerous texts and publications. He has been President of DOCOMOMO Belgium since 2015.

To answer these questions, this exhibition looks directly to a group of four individuals who were as children inhabitants of iconic Modernist homes and housing. Linking the spaces of Modern domesticity with the recollections of those who lived there provides a refreshing perspective on icons of Modernism in architecture.

Digital lecture as part of our special exhibition: “Kinder der Moderne – Growing up Modern”

Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster, the curators of the current exhibition at the Weissenhofwerkstatt, will discuss the oral history research project which documents the memories of children who were the first inhabitants of some of the most iconic Modernist buildings: the J.J.P. Oud row house at the Weissenhofsiedlung, the Mies van der Rohe Tugendhat House, the Schminke House by Hans Scharoun and Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. Sharing their contemporary photographs as well as fragments of recollections from former inhabitants, the lecture expands on the materials displayed in the exhibition and provides intimate narratives of Modernism in architecture.

Greetings and introduction: Anja Krämer, head of the Weissenhofmuseum
The lecture will be held in English and last 45 minutes. After that there is still time for questions.
