Summary: This monograph presents 34 selected projects carefully documented to record its place in art history and the story behind both its architect and client.

With 300 pages and over 450 color images, Michigan Modern: An Architectural Legacy will appeal to a wide audience beyond professional designers, art scholars and cultural historians. Indeed, it would be hard for anyone to resist the magnificent buildings and interiors chosen for this publication. This book may well be remembered for raising the public's awareness and appreciation of early Modern architecture and interior design in Michigan and the nation, inspiring many communities to protect and preserve them in the coming years. It may also convince the nation and the world to learn more about the vibrant design culture that thrives to this day in the State of Michigan.
