#fagusfactory

Described as a "temple of power" the AEG turbine factory looks every inch a symbol of industry. It is considered by many to be the best example of "industrial architecture". Its simplicity and strength make this building one of our favourites. #bauhaus #architecturalsculpture #fagusfactory #behrens #modernistarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3seKUhJSd/?igshid=r1z4mbtwxlmm

The Fagus factory represents the original work of modernist industrial architecture. It was the first major building by Walter Gropius, famed for the Bauhaus architectural movement. Gropius designed a glass and steel construction. The windowed corners made it a hallmark for his brand new form of architecture. #bauhaus #architecturalsculpture #fagusfactory #gropius #modernistarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwl5yr1Bd8T/?igshid=81p9yzdqo28w

Walter Gropius' Fagus factory has long been considered a frontrunner of modernist architecture. Sleek design and airy glass facade made Mr WG influential both in it's day and also now. WG designed the Fagus Factory when he was just 27 years old, and was his first building to be built, with construction starting in 1911. Mr WG went on to found Germany's internationally renowned #Bauhaus design school in 1919. Fagus was created in collaboration with Adolf Meyer who later taught at the Bauhaus. @archnooky @homeadore @myhouseidea @ad_magazine @interiordesigntv @architectureoskar @metropolismag @dwellmagazine @architecture_jonckers @restless.arch @architectureoskar @superarchitects @architecture_hunter @modern.architect @archdigest @architecturenow @modern.architect #waltergropius #berlin #Modernism #fagusfactory
