book description

"The education of architects at the University of Michigan has a long and distinguished history. This publication in intended to celebrate that tradition and place architectural education at this institution in a broader cultural, political, and academic perspective. The University of Michigan is blessed with a fine archive, the Bentley Historical Library, a repository of memories and documents which chronicles education at the university. This essay draws from evidence within that archive to capture at least some of the salient features of the teaching of architecture at Michigan over the past twelve decades

No history can be truly complete. This one highlights those significant events which have affected the nature of education at Michigan as well as other events which have given the program its distinct character. It provides extensive citations to archival sources in the hopes that there will be those who wish to do further research on education at Michigan."
