The most notable success of the New Objectivity in architecture was the solution of most of the problems posed by mass housing in Germany. In Television broadcast 9, Tim Benton traces the development of the Siedlungen (housing estates) built in Berlin during the 1920s through the work of Bruno Taut, Hans Scharoun, Walter Gropius, Hugo Häring, and Otto Bartning. He shows that, despite the large scale of these projects, the garden city ideal was never far away.
Written by Tim Benton, directed by Nick Levinson, produced the BBC/Open University, aired 10 May 1975 on BBC2.
