Summary:
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 twentieth-century industrial buildings, but also in other kinds of architecture and in 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.

L’ouvrage offre l’occasion de porter un nouveau regard sur un fonds d’images atypique au sein de la production visuelle des premières décennies du xxe siècle?: les autochromes –?premier procédé de photographie en couleur?– et les films pris à Paris par les opérateurs des Archives de la Planète. Cette vaste et noble entreprise, imaginée par Albert Kahn (1860-1940), banquier, mécène utopiste et pacifiste, poursuivait l’ambition ?d’établir un dossier de l’humanité prise en pleine vie, à un moment charnière de son histoire, à ?l’heure critique? de changements aussi profonds qu’inéluctables.

Summary:
Albert Kahn is probably the most important industrial architect of the 20th century. With his factory for the Ford T models, designed for mass production, he found himself at the beginning of modern industrial architecture. His industrial buildings inspired the architects of European Modernism. They were the examples by which the structural rationality of Kahn?s industrial developments became the guiding principle for the New Building movement up until today.
