The Guardian Building
Architect, Wirt Rowland specified stone from around the world in the Guardian Building lobby and a new tangerine color brick for the building the facade.
The building lobby is open to the public and cafes are open during the week.
Detroit Skyline from Mies' Residential Tower
This is the view looking out the window of Mies van der Rohe's high rise residential tower in Detroit.
The buildings seem like they no longer reflect the same settlement patterns that originally put them there.
So what has slowed the city's growth since the 1930s? The plus side is that there are many fine Art Deco buildings still in the city, like the Guardian Building.
