Walter Gropius

Passing the Fagus Factory on the railway line between Northeim and Hannover one is struck once again with the fact that the original goods reception and dispatch buildings on the side were as considered as the rest, and better than the front.
The modern movement's sense of buildings as objects, not as facades, was beginning.

Peter Smithson, October 1998
