Lawrence Technological University, along with the Lawrence Tech Library, is
hosting
*Joel Stone*, the Senior Curator at the Detroit Historical Society, who
will present

*"The Ubiquitous Mr. Kahn: Albert Kahn's Architectural Legacy"*

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.

For more information or directions, call the Library at 248-204-3000.

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

sponsorship!)
