Lawrence Technological University, along with the Lawrence Tech Library, is hosting

Joel Stone, the Senior Curator at the Detroit Historical Society, who will present

Mr. Kahn was one of the most important architects that shaped Detroit yet he is only now being fully appreciated for the innovations he introduced.

The talk begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017, in the Architecture Building's A200 auditorium.  (#10 on the map, can enter at #9)  The parking lots closest to 10 Mile are most convenient, but follow the signs to the large parking lot ("C") for additional spaces.  Parking and the event are free.  

After the talk, attendees will be able to view the exhibit, "Albert Kahn under Construction" in the adjacent gallery.  This exhibit was first shown at the University of Michigan, and now is enhanced with some models from the Albert Kahn Associates. It uses actual photos taken to show Albert Kahn the various stages of construction as his buildings were being erected.   These have been reworked as a digital exhibit.  

Light refreshments will be served.

And mark your calendar for March 3, 2017: there will be a full-day symposium about Albert Kahn featuring current research and an update from Albert Kahn Associates.  for more information about these events, see https://www.ltu.edu/library/kahn.asp
