Description

En savoir plus

A study of Albert Kahn Incorporated--the architecture firm closely associated with the Ford Motor Company and other auto companies--that explores capitalism and political economy through the built environment of industry and culture. In 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.
