Built in Alfred al der Leine, Lower Saxony, Germany, in the year 1910, Gropius designed this factory with floor to ceiling windows that helps create a sense of light. Not many buildings like this are seen today, as the right angle of the glass corners gives the illusion that the building does not need support. Gropius’ intention was to benefit society with this design, giving factory workers more light and fresh air than was common in traditional factory designs.
