Resumo
The shape of the Grain Elevators characterized the
formation of the consciousness of
the visionary, functionalist, and machinist class of
the first half of the twentieth
century. Through the study of the evolution model o
f the Grain Elevators, of the
examples built in Buffalo, USA, and the analysis of
modern design objects, we intend
to establish a relationship between the shape of gr
ain elevators and the shape of
modern design objects in order to understand whethe
r the internationalization of this
model of functional factory was a model that influe
nced the design of some modern
industrial design pieces.
By using more speculative methodologies, our objecti
ve is to identify and understand
some modern design objects that reflect a formal re
lationship with the Grain
Elevators.
