The functionalist housing estate Baba in the Prague district of Dejvice was built between 1932-1940 by the Czechoslovak Werkbund. This collection of exhibition housing was the last in a series of “model estates” constructed by the Werkbund (an association of artists, architects, designers, and industrialists, whose aim was to promote the development of modern architecture and industrial design) in Central Europe. Unlike other Werkbund housing estates (e.g. the Stuttgart and Vienna estates) Baba was funded privately.
