In 1988, Matthew Ginal donated copies of materials on Kleinhans to the Archives and these were incorporated into this collection. Access: Access to the collection is unrestricted Copyright: Copyright to this collection is held by the Cranbrook Educational Community, except for some of the Kleinhans materials (see specific folders). Preferred Citation: Saarinen Family Papers, Cranbrook Archives, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Photographs: In Photograph Special File and Scrapbooks (Series VI) Audio/Video: 16 mm films are in Series VI, Box 10 Index: The correspondence series is indexed (see end of finding aid) Processing: Betsy Wagner; James Luzenski, 1991; Ryan Wieber, 1998 PROVENANCE Between December 1989 and September 1990, Ronald Saarinen Swanson and Robert Saarinen Swanson donated five lots of Saarinen and Swanson family papers to the Cranbrook Archives. The brothers’ gift included a core grouping of archival materials relating to Eliel, Loja, and Eero Saarinen that had been held by Loja Saarinen until her death and later by Pipsan Saarinen Swanson. This grouping of material constitutes the majority of the Saarinen Family papers. Materials relating to Pipsan Saarinen Swanson and her husband, J. Robert S. Swanson, were organized into the Swanson Family papers (1990-1). Other non-aligned Archives holdings pertaining to the Saarinens and Swansons were subsequently added to both collections. The inventories of the Swansons’ gift have been kept and can be consulted. Not all of the Saarinen Family papers were donated to Cranbrook. After Eliel’s death, Loja Saarinen donated a cache of his honorary degrees and awards, drawings, and photographs to the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki.
  • The Concept of the Architectural Corporation

    The Concept of the Architectural Corporation

    1914 MICHAEL KUBO The Concept of the Architectural Corporation Despite the increasing presence of large, team-based offices within US architectural practice over the last century, a history of how architects and critics have understood these offices has yet to be written. The nature of group practice has changed from the big businesses and large organiza- tions that accompanied the merger movement at the turn of the twentieth century to the factory producers of the industrial expansion in the 1910s and 1920s, the bureaucratic firms of the postwar boom, and the multina- tional conglomerates of the neoliberal present. Only after World War II did the term “corporate” come to constitute a topos of architectural discourse, one that refers at once to a specific mode of production, the mentality of its producers, and the perceived qualities of the work produced. Through- out these changes in the scope of architectural organization, architects and historians have speculated on the implications of the large-scale office for the status of architecture as a business, a profession, and a field of cultural production. A convenient place to enter this history of critical reception is in midstream, in the years immediately after the World War II, when numerous authors looked to the largest firms of the early twentieth century to comprehend the implications of team-based practices for postwar architectural production. Among the earliest attempts was Henry-Russell Hitchcock’s 1947 article, “The Architecture of Bureaucracy and the Architecture of Genius,” in which he predicted that the major categories of 1983 postwar architecture would be distinguished not by style, but by economy of production.1 Hitchcock noted that the prewar terms of debate, centered Q on avant-garde themes of advance or regression, had given way to a Henry-Russell Hitchcock, “The Architecture of “clarification of the architectural picture” in which “it came about that there Bureaucracy and the was at last only one contemporary way of building,” namely modernism.
