Detroit was home to famed architect Minoru Yamasaki for many years and can boast of some of his finest work. His elegant structures hint at the range of his prolific talent. I love the delicacy and grace that he marries to strength and purity of form.
Here are a few of my local favorites.
Architecture by Yamasaki, chairs by Bertoia, stools by Maya Lin at Michigan Consolidated Gas Company | Detroit 1963
Education building at Wayne State University | Detroit 1960
Reynolds Metals Regional Sales Office | Southfield, Michigan 1959
Temple Beth El | Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 1973
McGregor Memorial conference Center at Wayne State University | Detroit 1958
