Work Title:
The AEG turbine factory was built around 1909, at Huttenstraße 12-16 in the Berlin district of Moabit. It is an influential and well-known example of industrial architecture. Its revolutionary design features 100m long and 15m tall glass and steel walls on either side. The architect Peter Behrens was commissioned with the construction of the new building. More than an architect, Behrens was employed from 1907 by AEG as an artistic consultant and designed the company logo, and other company graphics for the building. The turbine hall was built in 1909 under Peter Behrens as lead architect and engineer Karl Bernhard. Behrens' design provided a neo-classical look to the industrial building. (wikipedia.org)
