Horseshoe This is called Hufeisensiedlung which literally means 'horseshoe'. This was designed by Weimar Architect Bruno Taut, it was designed following World War 1 there was a housing shortage so that was meant to maximize house in a ecomonical way. It is built around a natural pond. This is one of the best examples of fuctional artictecture as it was buildt to solve a problem not because they needed it. This sort of design was described as Gartenstadtgesellschaft which means Garden City Movement.
