The Fagus Factory stands as a landmark in the evolution of modern architecture. Designed by the visionary architects Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer, it was constructed between 1911 and 1913 with a design that emphasized clarity of form and function. Its innovative use of glass and steel, especially in the unsupported corners, broke away from traditional industrial construction and influenced the development of modernist architecture. Recognized for its architectural significance, the Fagus Factory was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.
