One 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.exterior, top left: side facing Berlichingenstrasse; top right: detail of pilaster resting on its hinge; bottom right: internal wall with alternation between the window and pilaster; bottom left: detail of ground floor pilaster facing the yard
