Re: Ford Factories
Wow, Brent I am honored...I have two of my step grandchildren living with me now so between that and the 180A, there is little time for anything else but I do know Kahn. He was in my mind the greatest early twentieth century architect engineer and possible the greatest -though unheralded- in the United States. His designs for large windowed working spaces, which was being developed in Europe and in particular Germany was a great leap forward in American Architecture. He did most of the Rouge buildings and...his office continues today in Detriot...I suspect that he did the protype for the Ford agencies across America which was so well referenced in the MAFFI building at Hickory Corners.
Stay tuned
