About This Item
Wrocław: Muzeum Architektury we Wrocławiu, 2010 4o (29 cm), 510 pp. Publisher's laminated boards and dust jacket. A lavishly illustrated monograph presenting the model housing estate, a pivotal feature of the WUWA (Wohnung und Werkraum Ausstellung, Living and Work Space) exhibition in Wroclaw, showcasing one of the most intriguing European examples of the Modern Movement in the 1920s. Within the exhibition vicinity, an experimental housing estate emerged, with eleven architects invited to design innovative buildings under the guidance of urban planning pioneers Heinrich Lauterbach and Adolf Rading. The primary goal was to exhibit new types of small and medium dwellings, diverse house forms, and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies and construction materials. The buildings were open to the public for three and a half months, then leased for two years to the Wrocław Housing Estate Association for functional testing. After the exhibition's closure, the estate transformed into an artistic quarter. The second part of the book serves as a comprehensive catalog detailing the structures comprising the WUWA model estate.
