    Building Utopia

    The mind boggles to think that this stuff was being built 80 years ago.

    This is the link to the story of the Berlin housing projects from the 1920s that are being considered as UNESCO Heritage sites.

    Astonishing stuff.

    There were a similar set of buildings in Vienna in the 1920s. In the "Karl-Marx-Hof"
    in the northern part of the city, the Social Democrat government built a series of municipal flats to
    house the city's working-class population.
