IDEAL CITIES - YES!!

Today I share something that is the opposite of the (admittedly alluring) urban dystopia of Chongqing, the topic of some of my recent posts. Heinrich Tessenow (1876-1950) was a German architect whose response to the horrors of the First World War was a return to small town simplicity. Overly idealistic perhaps, but endlessly seductive. He was an important influence on the thinking of Leon Krier and the entire New Urbanist movement, and not just in the power of his simple drawings. His work is a powerful reminder that inspite of our obsession with the new and trendy, there are eternal truths.

The building is his school for Jaques-Dalcroze, the founder of Dalcroze eurhythmics, the study of music through movement.
