Expressionist architecture
Expressionist architecture occurs in architecture when an architect distorts a building or design for an emotional effect. Originally the term was used to describe a brief European architectural style of the first half of the 20th century, being the architectural response to Expressionism, but it has now taken on a broader architectural meaning.

Expressionist architecture occurred as a movement, in Germany, and to a lesser extent in Scandinavia, the Netherlands and in Spain, between 1910 and 1925. Important events in expressionist architecture were the Werkbund Exhibition (1914) in Cologne, the completion and theatrical running of the Grosses Schauspielhaus, Berlinin 1919, the Glass Chain letters and the activities of the Amsterdam School.Beside a relatively few buildings, expressionist architecture also made a great contribution to architectural theory. Works on paper, such as Bruno Taut's Alpine Architecture and Hermann Finsterlin's Formspiels were able to capture expressions of the architects much more easily and aptly than laborious finished buildings. The more facile and temporal scenography for theatre and films also provided a creative outlet for this difficult movement that challenged the pragmatic and functional in architecture.After the expressionist period however, many of it's architects took to it's near opposite and created functionalist buildings, maybe the more ably having challenged function with expressionism.Characteristics of Expressionist architecture
