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!
