Bauen : der neue Wohnbau / Bruno Taut ; herausgegeben von der Architekten Vereinigung "Der Ring."

Taut, Bruno, 1880-1938 · 1927 · Leipzig : Klinkhardt & Biermann · 35 pictures

A 1927 Leipzig architectural survey by Bruno Taut and the Ring architects' association, published by Klinkhardt & Biermann, documenting new German housing for working-class residents. The four photographs show plain white rendered blocks with flat roofs, strip windows, balconies and open ground-floor entrances. A designer could take from them the clean geometric massing, repeated window grids and modernist minimalism of interwar residential architecture.
