Behrens is a member of creating ＂Deutscher Werkbund＂. During the period of working in AIIgemeine Elektrizitts Gesellschaft （AEG）, his idea of functionalism is practiced and manifested perfectly. In terms of architectural design, the turbine factory that he designs for AEG is known as the first ＂modern architecture＂ in a real sense. In terms of industrial design, Behrens applies the idea of functional aesthetics into such daily necessities as electric kettle, electric fan and clock. In terms of graphic design, he advocates the standardization of font design and introduces standardized gridded arrangements. Behrens＇s achievements lay foundations for the development of modernism. His exploration of architecture and design still exert impacts on today.
