Bog beskrivelse
The architectural legacy of Albert Kahn established on the global stage. In this new authoritative biography, author Chris Meister brings a fresh perspective to the legacy of internationally renowned Detroit architect Albert Kahn, utilizing a broad range of newly seen archival resources. In Detroit, Kahn's daylight factories and commercial designs have shaped the distinctive workplaces and streetscapes of the city. Placing Kahn's design and production of iconic architecture—like the Belle Isle Aquarium & Horticultural Building as well as the Fisher Building—alongside less-heralded projects, Meister outlines how Kahn's ingenuity and broad networks cultivated the spread of his influence through his advocacy of daylight in traditionally dark working environments. Beyond Detroit, Meister addresses the complicated global impact of Kahn's work by highlighting his pragmatic approach to architectural design and his involvement in fraught projects such as the plants designed for the USSR in Europe's interwar period. This exploration of Kahn's dynamic career establishes the architect as a vital figure for the global development of architectural modernism and to twentieth-century economic and political history.
