125+ years – Six continents – 45,000 projects. The Art of Collaboration andInnovation: Albert Kahn Associates celebrates the significant work of history’s
most prolific and versatile international architecture firm. Albert Kahn is
synonymous with industrial giants of the 20th century, raising factory design
to a legitimate architectural practice. He influenced contemporaries such as
Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le
Corbusier, paving the way for the modern movement. Albert is only part of
the legacy.

“When you write the story, credit it to Albert Kahn Associates [Architects]
and Engineers, Inc., rather than to me, personally. After all, I am like the
quarterback on a football team. Without the teamwork of my associates, I
would be nothing.” - Albert Kahn.

Inside the firm’s first comprehensive history book, readers will discover how
Kahn mirrored the industrious spirit of the time, creating architecture that advanced their client’s work across all markets.

Arguably the most innovative early design was the creation of a collaborative Architectural and Engineering practice under one roof, which continues today. Thousands of men and women have left their mark on this firm and its projects.

Essays are included from 28 authors – noted Kahn scholars, historians, long-term clients, Kahn family members, as well as Kahn’s current and past employees. Together, these unique perspectives craft a new understanding and reveal littleknown facts of the Kahn legacy – a legacy of innovation that we will continue to shape in the years to come.

The Art of Collaboration & Innovation: Albert Kahn Associates is published by Visual Profile Books, New York (311 pages, 188 color and 146 black and white images with 43 drawings, hardcover with dust jacket). To purchase books, please visit our website: AlbertKahn.com.
