Synopsis: Albert Kahn ist der wohl bedeutendste Industriearchitekt des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit seiner Fabrik für Fords T-Modell, entworfen für die Massenfertigung, stand er am Anfang des modernen Industriebaus. Das Erscheinungsbild seiner Industriehallen begeisterte die Architekten der europäischen Moderne. Über sie wurde die strukturelle Rationalität von Kahns Industrieanlagen vorbildgebend für das Neue Bauen bis in die heutige Zeit. Die konkurrenzlose Monographie dokumentiert mit zahlreichen Fotos, Grundrissen, Lageplänen und virtuelle 3D-Modellen umfassend die Bauten Albert Kahns, die er aufgrund seiner systematisierten Arbeitsweise in kürzester Zeit errichtete: in den USA, aber auch in der Sowjetunion, Brasilien, Schweden, Frankreich, China, Japan und Australien., 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. The unrivalled monograph with its numerous photographs, plan layouts, site plans, and virtual 3D models comprehensively documents the buildings of Albert Kahn, which he was able to construct in a very short time due to his system-based working method - in the USA but also in the Soviet Union, Brazil, Sweden, France, China, Japan, and Australia., Albert Kahn is probably the most important industrial architect of the 20th century.
