Summary:

In television broadcast 4, Tim Benton compares the industrial buildings by Peter Behrens for the AEG (General Electrical Company of Germany) in Berlin with the almost exactly contemporaneous Fagus shoe-last factory which Walter Gropius designed for Karl Benscheidt, in Alfeld-an-der-Leine, both built just before the First World War. The Fagus factory is often referred to as the first really 'modern' building, while the AEG buildings, at first sight, appear to have a markedly classical aesthetic.
