Textile architecture

Ford Rotunda, Albert Kahn, 1933

Built first as a temporary exhibition space for the 1934 Chicago Expo, then rebuilt in Dearborn, Michigan, this time of more durable materials, ultimately destroyed in a fire in 1962. An impressive display of Kahn's ability as a designer of uncompromisingly modern industrial architecture with great symbolic flair.
