If you enjoy the work of Corrado Parducci and other architecture-related topics, you'll want to visit the Detroit Historical Museum to see one of their newest exhibits. The 1920s: Detroit's Building Boom exhibit recently opened, and it features a recreation of Corrado Parducci's studio with his tools and equipment and plaster molds and the like.   In addition, the exhibit covers skyscrapers, Detroit neighborhoods, and other architectural subjects relating to the 1920s building boom in the city. Highly recommended!! http://www.detroithistorical.org/exhibits/index.asp?MID=1&EID=502&Page=first | ||

Yep, just saw it yesterday. there is also a video of the Fisher brothers performing the ground breaking for the Fisher Building. The Parducci exhibit has some cool images of his house and studio as well. Also, in the theater exhibit one will find Charles Crane's desk. | ||
