Modern Arch Since 1900 Ch6

responses to mechanization: the deutscher werkbund and futurism

Unlike it's American counter part, Germany and Italy romanticized the factory in the early days of modernization. They didn't need to sort out how to make a vernacular for a warehouse, they needed to sort out how to elevate it as a worshiping space. Both of these civilizations felt these buildings would build the future and the buildings form needed to reflect that.
