The pure forms of ancient factories and manufacturing plants reflect an aesthetic of economy on a grand scale. Immense structures which once produced machines for the world sit silent as icons of past days. The incredible beauty of these structures, woven fabrics of glass and steel, is the essence of the modern age of design. Function and form are united in a common dialogue.
Beauty comes from within.
Composition, rhythm, balance, symmetry are inherent properties of the functions served. It is the art of the machine age. It is striking to see these immense structures, the steel towers marshalled along the waterfront, servants of industry. Sunlight through paned expanses of glass in steel, washes factories with lightness and air. These are magical spaces of mystery echoing memories of a rich past, and possibilities of the future.
