The wider context

Architecture in focus

Industrial architecture in the catalogue represents buildings designed for production, research, and infrastructure — factories, power plants, laboratories — where the programme dictates the form. 7 Industrial buildings across 3 cities demonstrate how functional requirements produced some of the 20th century's most compelling architecture.

Peter Behrens's AEG Turbine Factory in Berlin (1909) is a founding work of modern architecture: a temple-like steel-and-glass hall that gave industrial production the dignity of monumental form. The Fagus Factory by Gropius and Meyer took the next step, dissolving the corner into a glass curtain wall.
