Stanford Anderson provides a comprehensive examination of Peter Behrens, a pivotal figure who bridged the gap between nineteenth-century tradition and twentieth-century modernism. Through a rigorous analysis of his architectural projects and industrial design work for the AEG, the book explores how Behrens established a new visual language for corporate identity and urban infrastructure. This scholarly monograph utilizes extensive archival research and illustrations to contextualize his profound influence on the evolution of modern architecture.
