The Hansaviertel

For our second year field trip at the Kent School of Architecture we went to Berlin. One day our tutor took us for a tour of the Hansviertel, the post-war architectural housing experiment. All the big names have examples of their apartment block designs there: Gropius, Niemeyer, Aalto and Le Corbusier. If we do go on a trip to Berlin, no doubt we should visit!
Here is an article from Wallpaper 104 (November 2007, 144-150) about the development and case studies of people who live there.
