Beschreibung
“In a truly alternative history of modern architecture, Zimmerman repatriates industrial architecture from its long-time outcast status back to the heart of the discipline. Drawing on extensive new documentary research, her account of the social, political, economic, cultural ramifications of the work of Kahn’s office is superb.”
—Adrian Forty, Professor Emeritus of Architectural History, University College London; author of Concrete and Culture

“Zimmerman challenges us to think anew about the position of architecture and engineering in relation to manufacturing, materials, and the midcentury politics of the United States and the USSR.”
—Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Professor of Art History, University College Dublin; author of Architecture Since 1400

“This rich and compelling account of one of the last century’s most prolific and intriguing building operations belongs in every library, of any scale, concerned with the history of modern architecture.”
—Andrew Leach, Professor of Architectural History, University of Sydney
Anchored in the most thorough study to date of the era-defining industrial architecture of Albert Kahn Inc., enhanced by intriguing sidebars on Mies van der Rohe, drawing on Zimmerman’s astute grasp of work practices, design details, and organizational modes—especially those deployed so inventively in the daylight factories that served extractive, manufacturing, welfare, and consumerist capitalism during the first half of the twentieth century—this book redefines how modern architecture must now be understood.

America (1993)
