Modern Architecture

.





In 1927, Mies van der Rohe designed the innovative concrete-and-steel Weissenhof apartments in Stuttgart, Germany, which would become a landmark of International-style architecture

that same year, Gerrit Rietveld built the so-called chauffeur’s house (above), a little-known but remarkably similar building in his hometown of Utrecht, the Netherlands, which leaked and had to be redone shortly thereafter.
