===Architecture=== {{Main|Expressionist architecture}} [[File:Potsdam Telegrafenberg asv2023-09 img4.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Einstein Tower|Einsteinturm]] in Potsdam]] In architecture, two specific buildings are identified as Expressionist: [[Bruno Taut]]'s [[Glass Pavilion]] of the [[Cologne]] [[Werkbund Exhibition (1914)]], and [[Erich Mendelsohn]]'s [[Einstein Tower]] in [[Potsdam]], Germany completed in 1921. The interior of [[Hans Poelzig]]'s Berlin theatre (the [[Grosse Schauspielhaus]]), designed for the director [[Max Reinhardt (theatre director)|Max Reinhardt]], is also cited sometimes. The influential architectural critic and historian [[Sigfried Giedion]], in his book ''Space, Time and Architecture'' (1941), dismissed Expressionist architecture as a part of the development of [[Functionalism (architecture)|functionalism]]. In Mexico, in 1953, German émigré [[Mathias Goeritz]] published the ''Arquitectura Emocional'' ("Emotional Architecture") manifesto with which he declared that "architecture's principal function is emotion".<ref>Mathias Goeritz, "El manifiesto de arquitectura emocional", in Lily Kassner, Mathias Goeritz, UNAM, 2007, p. 272-273</ref> Modern Mexican architect [[Luis Barragán]] adopted the term that influenced his work. The two of them collaborated in the project [[Torres de Satélite]] (1957–58) guided by Goeritz's principles of ''Arquitectura Emocional''.<ref name="Flaherty2016">{{cite book|author=George F.
