Fagus Factory

The Fagus Factory, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Germany, is an iconic early modernist building designed by architect Walter Gropius in 1911. Constructed primarily of glass, steel, and brick, it served as a shoe factory and revolutionized industrial architecture with its innovative use of large windows and open interior spaces. The structure reflects the Bauhaus movement’s emphasis on functionality, simplicity, and the integration of art and industry. Today, it stands as a testament to architectural progress and industrial heritage, attracting visitors worldwide.
