Fagus Factory

The Fagus Factory is a shoe last enterprise. A shoe last is a 3-dimensional wooden or plastic mold upon which a shoe is constructed. The factory was designed by Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer.   The factory was built in 1911 and its construction was finished completely until 1925. The Fagus Factory is located in Germany and was built to represent modern architecture. Modern architecture is based on new technologies of constructions and embraces minimalism.  The factory ranks as one of the masterpieces of modern architecture. At first glance, a lot of people believe the building was made of concrete or steel because of the glass facade. The glass facade is what gives it the minimalistic look.
