"Bandes has compiled a richly illustrated compendium of modern architecture in the Lansing/East Lansing area--including designs never built, low-cost cooperatives, homes, a grocery store, and Lansing City Hall. By sharing the human stories behind the buildings, from architects and clients to church committees, she also provides a valuable illustration of the way modern design concepts and materials of the post-World War II era spread from national architects and early adopters to such mundane aspects of everyday life as Dawn Donuts." -- Sandra Sageser Clark, director, Michigan Historical Center, Bandes has compiled a richly illustrated compendium of modern architecture in the Lansing/East Lansing area--including designs never built, low-cost cooperatives, homes, a grocery store, and Lansing City Hall.

Synopsis
Featuring 36 new illustrations From 1940 to 1970, midMichigan had an extensive and varied legacy of modernist architecture. While this book explores buildings by renowned architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alden B. Dow, and the Keck brothers, the text--based on archival research and oral histories--focuses more heavily on regional architects whose work was strongly influenced by international modern styles. The reader will see a picture emerge in the portrayal of buildings of various typologies, from residences to sacred spaces. The automobile industry, state government, and Michigan State University served as the economic drivers when the mid-Michigan area expanded enormously in the growing optimism and increasing economic prosperity after World War II. Government, professional associations, and private industry sought an architectural style that spoke to forwardlooking, progressive ideals. Smaller businesses picked a Prairie style that made people feel comfortable. Modernist houses reflected the increasingly informal American lifestyle rooted in the automobile culture. This expanded paperback edition adds over twenty architect-designed residences along the various rivers and creeks that traverse the area as well as on man-made lakes, and introduces several popular architectural designers not previously discussed. The epilogue briefly considers disappearing modernist inventions and buildings. With a detailed narrative discussing more than 150 buildings and enriched by 186 illustrations, this text is a vibrant start at reclaiming the history of mid-Michigan modernist architecture., From 1940 to 1970, midMichigan had an extensive and varied legacy of modernist architecture by wellknown architects and regional firms. Through Susan Bandes's archival research and oral histories, the reader will see a picture emerge in the portrayal of buildings of various typologies, from residences to sacred spaces. With a detailed discussion of more than 150 buildings enriched by 186 illustrations, this text is a vibrant start at reclaiming the history of mid-Michigan modernist architecture.

Item was described as a Mass Market Paperback but came as Hardcover. However they were very helpful and offered a refund, but they found another one and sent it out. I always appreciate excellent customer service.

Between confusing my tracking information for another order (making me think my package had been delivered states away), my book having completely different cover art than the image used in the eBay listing, my book not being packed well and suffering some damage, as well as the other shady behavior listed in other reviews (like my book coming from Amazon and the seller immediately jacking up the price of the original listing after my purchase), I'd say this is a shady seller to entirely avoid.

Book was as described. Charged a lot for shipping and never gave any tracking information. Also, this book was sold to me before they had it in hand apparently. A packing slip for Amazon was found with a cheaper price and later date than when I bought the book.
