Fagus Factory

産業建築1911アルフェルト, GermanyUNESCO
A shoe-last factory by Gropius and Adolf Meyer—known for glass corners without heavy posts. UNESCO World Heritage, before the Bauhaus school years.
Brick base and glass walls present industry as something to look at. The open corner foreshadows Dessau. Read it as working heritage—production history and conservation together.
Highlights
- Glass corners — Without a corner column, where does the building feel strong?
- Gatehouse and main block — Do small and large buildings share one vocabulary?
Architects
- Walter Gropius
