| Discussion | I. G. Farben Offices Commentary
"Built in 1920-25 the paint factory of the I.G. Farben Company features, in its administration building, a large hall around which offices are arranged, on the model of the Larkin Building by Frank Lloyd Wright. Peter Behrens' version is strongly marked by Dutch expressionism, turning the well of light into a very dynamic space both by the theatrical play of light and by the systematic use of slanting rafters which serve to disrupt the overall rectilinearity." — Mitchell Beazley. The World Atlas of Architecture. p371. | |||
