Select interiors will be explored, including the original Cranbrook School for Boys Dining Hall and the Williams Natatorium, design by Todd Williams and Billie Tsien.

The extraordinary interior, now impeccably restored, features the Saarinens鈥 original furnishings, including Eliel鈥檚 delicately-veneered furniture and Loja鈥檚 sumptuous textiles, as well as early furniture designs by their son Eero Saarinen.

Minoru Yamasaki was one of America鈥檚 premier midcentury modernist architects. Long before the World Trade Center he created a 鈥渉umanistic modernism鈥 that melded traditional architectural features like columns and arches, a modernist expression of structure, and an interest in 鈥渟erenity, surprise, and delight鈥 acquired from a deep engagement with world architecture. Yamasaki was based in the Detroit area, and some of his finest works are here. This walking tour will visit four buildings on the Wayne State University campus, including his masterpiece, the McGregor Memorial Conference Center (recently named a National Historic Landmark), as well as the former Detroit Arts & Crafts Society building at the College for Creative Studies. Boxed lunch and transportation are provided.

9:00am 鈥 2:00pm:聽Ann Arbor / University of Michigan Tour聽– CANCELLED
The Ann Arbor area is the state鈥檚 rare jewel: a small, friendly town with big-city sophistication; a world-class educational and high-tech research center nestled in a quintessential college town; a close-knit community of charming neighborhoods with a rich mix of cultures.聽 U. Michigan Central Campus buildings are classical or gothic in style along with ten buildings, which are designed by Detroit-based architect聽Albert Kahn聽between 1904 and 1936. North Campus is the most contiguous campus, built independently from the city on a large plot of farm land. Eero Saarinen created one of the early master plans for North Campus and designed several of its buildings in the 1950s, including the聽Earl V. Moore School of Music Building. The tour will include stops Taubman College’s Art and Architecture Building, including its FABLab on North Campus and its Liberty Research Annex in downtown Ann Arbor.
