German Industrial Buildings 1910-1925

by limbic on March 15, 2007

From Andy Bleck comes a wonderful series of pictures of German Industrial building from the 10’s and 20’s:

These photos are from a small book called ‘Bauten der Arbeit und des Verkehrs’ (buildings of work and transport) 1925, one of ‘Die Blauen B√ºcher’ (the blue books), a series of thin paperback books on art and architecture. Apart from depicting interesting expressionist or mordernist architecture, the pictures also seem to have a great ‘Neue Sachlichkeit’ appeal.
