- In the context of the exhibition The University Is Now on Air: Broadcasting Modern Architecture, the CCA presents twenty-four broadcasts from the course A305, History of Architecture and Design 1890-1939, by The Open University. To learn more about the project, visit www.cca.qc.ca/....
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.
Written by Tim Benton, directed by Nick Levinson, produced the BBC/Open University, aired 15 March 1975 on BBC2.
Awesome program. Dig the coolness of the presenter as well. Gold!
The BBC 2 Open University programming was fantastic. I watched these as a child growing up.
More of these programmes please!

So very well explained! I'm writing an essay about these two buildings and this helps me so much!
Fantastic! So glad you posted this... So glad I "found" it!
It's creepy how much I love industrial architecture. I even want to live there.
