The stuttgart television tower was the first tower of its kind in the world and has recently been completely refitted. It is the unofficial symbol of the city, as you can see it from almost anywhere. For details and a webcam see the website, which is in German and English. The view from the top is great.

If you are going to see the Bauhaus exhibition in the V&A, here's your chance to see the real thing: built in 1927, every architect of the time, from Le Corbusier to Mies van der Rohe, built a house in this model estate.

Pure and undiluted modernism, nothing for the faint hearted Poundsbury-lovers, called a national eye-sore and an 'Arab village' by the Nazis, who wanted to demolish it. It survived, but because they are still inhabited, you can only walk around the houses. Still, a must-see for anyone interested in modern(ist) architecture!
