Unsupported Edge

Karl Schünemann

UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory

UNESCO World Heritage Fagus Factory
Alfeld (Leine), Germany

The most spectacular aspect of Walter Gropius and Adolf Meyer's main building is the unsupported edge, which was first designed and built for the Fagus Factory. With revolutionary bravery, they spread out the weight of the roof onto the sides of the building, making it possible to leave the edge bare, covering it only with glass!
