Seagram Building, Mies Van Der Rhoe, New York City, 1959

​

The Seagram building by Mies has large amounts of glass that we think of when we think of Mies. This amount of glass would have been difficult for any other previous generation to create because of the large amounts of glass that are used. By comparing this building to the likes of the Crystal Palace, yes it has a lot less ornament, but also it is similar in its use of glass  

This building by Le Corbusier really puts Bessemer's inventions on display. From the iron to the glass.

Fagus Factory, Walter Gropius, Germany 

 

The Fagus Factory is one of the most iconic turn of the century modern buildings. When you think of modern building designs it is mostly large glass windows and little solid structure that is showing. This building would have also been difficult for Gropius to even think of doing without the innovations from Pilkington and Bessemer
