A study of Albert Kahn Incorporatedthe architecture firm closely associated with the Ford Motor Company and other auto companiesthat explores capitalism and political economy through the built environment of industry and culture.
In Albert Kahn Inc. Claire Zimmerman provides a history of second-wave industrialization associated with the growth and development of the United States' auto industry and its global footprint. A forensic analysis of the architects of Ford, the book theorizes how building and capitalism intersected in the case of 20th-century industrial buildings, but also in other kinds of architecturein the built environment writ large. Generally a marginal subject in histories of architecture, industrialism here exposes the expansionist modern project in Western architecture and culture, which was based on natural resource extraction and labor exploitation. With more than 140 full-color illustrations, the book combines an analysis of industrial architecture with compelling photographic evidence drawn from assorted archives.
Zimmerman offers a political economy of architecture; reconceptualizes the design process within a high-volume firm in dialogue with fast-paced industrial capitalism; tracks the feedback loops that industrialization introduced into architecture; and maps the unequal effects of these industrial environments on the workers who labored within them. Ultimately, Zimmerman shows how the coalition of US private capital and state power built industrial installations as imperialist projects, and how its practices survive to the present day.
