The exterior of the John Deere Headquarters is characterized by its somewhat minimalist style using repeated horizontal lines. The materials seen in (A) shows the building's use of Cor-ten steel, a steel with iron oxide coating, which forms a sort of rust-like texture and feel, thus creating a rustic look reflecting the company's outdoors-driven ideology. This site also relies on the heavy use of glass as seen in (B). The use of repeated glass panels allows a large quantity of light to shine through to the building's interior and minimizes the boundary between outdoors and indoors.
