Comprised of a stunning array of brilliantly colored, hand-stenciled pochoir prints, they depict contemporary decorative arts ranging from mirrors to furniture, wallpaper patterns to light fixtures designed by artiste-décorateurs who today comprise our canon of 1920s Art Moderne designers. Kahn, on the other hand, is known principally for his astoundingly prolific body of work in industrial architecture, predominantly in the American Midwest—Ford Motor Company’s River Rouge Plant and Highland Park, Willow Run Manufacturing Complex, as well as commercial and institutional icons such as Hill Auditorium and Hatcher Graduate Library at University of Michigan, and the General Motors and Fisher Buildings in Detroit. It is tempting to see Kahn’s project of corporate, factory architecture as antithetical to this contemporaneous burst of luxury home goods from across the Atlantic. However, Assembly-Line Moderne suggests that we consider these folios as artifacts seen through the lens of Kahn and the logic of industrial architecture in Detroit. In so doing, this exhibition sets the two design cultures side-by-side, compelling audiences to reconsider how the particular form and purpose of these print folios from across the Atlantic might have been implicated in, and resonated with, a culture of design and production in the Motor City. Assembly-Line Moderne: French decorative Arts Folios from the Albert Kahn Library is on display in the A210 (Architecture) Gallery, 21000 W. Ten Mile Road, Southfield. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and admission is free. Please contact 248 204-3000 for more information and for visiting hours beyond the listed times.

Proponents of the recent past argue that by restricting evaluation of historic architecture to only that which is 50-years or older is leading to widespread endangerment and demolition of buildings and sites with periods of significance from the postwar era. This report studies the use of criterion G in-depth since the inception of the National Register program and attempts to identify and quantify the resources lost through continued adherence to the 50-year rule. The analysis is done in two parts.
