The purpose of this study is to consider the formal construction of German modern architecture. Especially in this paper, the design process of Stanz-Messer-Fabrikation of Fagus Shoe-Last Factory by Walter Gropius is analyzed from the standpoint of formation of volumetric formal system. As the research method, the design process is divided into three steps and variations, and then, three dimensional form is reconstructed from original sketches and drawings. As the result, it is found that unification and simplification characterized the volumetric formal system using the contrast between the glass curtain wall and brick walls.
