Designing Detroit; Wirt Rowland and the Rise of Modern American Architecture
Finally, after five years of work, Designing Detroit is available!
Many of the photos in my album "Detroit Tour" appear in this book, accompanied by explanations of the design techniques employed to craft the subject buildings.
Wirt Rowland's impact was national in scope, influencing many iconic Art Deco designs, including the Chrysler Building in New York, Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles, and many Deco hotels in Miami Beach.
The cover photo of the Guardian Building was taken from the roof of the Buhl Building.
