jan 1, 1908 - A.E.G. Turbine Erection Hall

Description:

Berlin
Peter Behrens
faced a problem of designing a building for a strictly industrial purpose, but at the same time giving it the 'prestige' character company expected.

It is a neo-classical building, designed on lines of a temple, but with all the stylistic signs and symbols left out or changed.

Remember! Sir John Soane was doing this more than 100 years earlier. - Dulwich Art Gallery
