This book, edited by Amy L. Arnold and Brian D. Conway, makes the case that Modernist architecture and design was developed in Michigan, not imported from Europe.
Developed to appeal to a creative labor pool, the year-old Newell Rubbermaid Design Center lies within southwest Michigan's hub of industrial design, just a stone's throw from internationally acclaimed manufacturers Haworth, Herman Miller, and Steelcase.
For an academic center, a former RECORD Vanguard architect revives a centuries-old building method to create a new archetype. There is a common thread that runs through all of Studio Gang’s work.
