When I discovered there were no books on my favorite architect, Wirt Rowland, I was shocked. After doing a bit of research on this master building designer, I decided to rectify the situation by writing a book. It took from late 2011 until September 2015 to research and write "Designing Detroit; Wirt Rowland and the Rise of Modern American Architecture."
I was amazed to discover how much there was to learn about early 20th century architecture, and what a fascinating period it was. My intent in writing the book was to convey this exciting history to those with an interest in architecture, but no real technical background. For those who wish to learn about the subject while experiencing the rapid development of American architecture during its most important period, this book is a great choice.
