dc.descriptionOne of [Behrens] earliest designs was for the celebrated turbine factory (1909; see Modern movement, fig. 1; see Buddensieg and others, 1984, pp. 273–81) in Moabit, Berlin, which used an exposed hinged steel frame—designed with Karl Bernhard (b 1859)—and undecorated masonry cladding on the gable end to create one of the canonical statements of 20th-century architecture, in which transparency and the rhythms of the industrial process were combined with classical monumentality.en_US
