‘Fritz Lang’s production designers—Erich Kettelhut, Otto Hunte and Kurt Vollbrecht—shaped the fictional city of Metropolis by re-imagining contemporary Manhattan. [T]hey spliced the city with buildings inspired by avant-garde European architects—among them, Cubist architects from the Bauhaus School; expressionists, like Erich Mendelsohn; Le Corbusier, with his vision of high-rise cities; and … the Italian Futurist Antonio Sant'Elia, whose “Città Nuova,” presented his future city as a multi-level megastructure shot through with daring interconnecting bridges and vertiginous aerial walkways.’ (CNN)
