Interbau was a housing development, constructed as part of the 1957 International Building Exhibition in the Hansaviertel area of West Berlin.

Working within constraints of size, layout and cost, forty-eight architects designed a huge range of accommodation, both low- and high-rise, with many permutations in plan. The contributing architects include Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, Luciano Baldessari, Paul Baumgarten, Jo van den Broek and Jacob Bakema, Egon Eiermann, Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer and Pierre Vago.
