Live in-person discussion with author Chris Meister

February 19, 2026
6:30 pm
Location: Buell Management Building #5
Basement Room M113

Featuring a special open house in the historic Kahn Library, adjacent to the LTU Library.

In this new authoritative biography, author Chris Meister brings a fresh perspective to the legacy of internationally renowned Detroit architect Albert Kahn.

In Detroit, Kahn's daylight factories and commercial designs have shaped the distinctive workplaces and streetscapes of the city. Beyond Detroit, Meister addresses the complicated global impact of Kahn's work by highlighting his pragmatic approach to architectural design and his involvement in fraught projects such as the plants designed for the USSR in Europe's interwar period.

This exploration of Kahn's dynamic career establishes the architect as a vital figure for the global development of architectural modernism and to 20th-century economic and political history.

There is no charge for this event.

Books will be available for purchase at $40. Please bring cash or check.
