The compositional solution of the structure, made in the traditions of the
style, is always characterized by emotional expressiveness and often manifests itself in a grotesque deformation of the shape of the structure. A frequent phenomenon in expressionism is also a complete rejection of generally accepted architectural norms in an attempt to turn the building into a kind of giant sculpture.

In expressionism, the individuality of the architect is clearly expressed in combination with his emotional state.

The most striking features of expressionism were shown in the building of
the Einstein Tower, the project of which was developed by the architect Erich Mendelssohn.
This astrophysical observatory, located in the science park of Potsdam,

was built in 1919-1921, when the style was just beginning to emerge. For the construction of the walls, brick was used, which was then covered with a layer of plaster. In the wavy outlines of the curved edges, there is a resemblance to a giant growth growing out of the ground.
