Seen pages on the Institute of Science Building Building designed by Eliel Saarinen, an architect noted for his Art Nouveau style , and also father of Eero Saarinen. Four pages on the Detroit Edison Company Service building designed by their Architectural Division. Four pages on architect Frederick L. Ackerman's New York City hi-rise apartment building. Ironically, Ackerman was noted for his bunglaow designs, but this modern apartment building is at the total oppisite end of the spectrum. Perhaps the largest section of this issue (16 pages) deals with buildings and homes in the Miami Beach area of Florida - architects Polevitzky , Tripp , Weed , Dixon , Pancoast , and others show their stuff, and much of it has an Art Deco flavor. Bay area architect Ernest Born is noted for designing the signage for the Bay Area Rapid Transit, and also additions and alterations to the William Randolph Hearst Theater on the Berkeley campus. His design for the AIA Architectural Exhibition was so popular that they had to extend the exhibit for a couple of weeks. Constructivist Russian Sculptor and pioneer of the Kinetic Art Movement Naum Gabo writes an interesting two-page article for this issue, accompanied by two pages of photographs of his works. The five page illustrated article on Expositions takes a look at World's Fairs from the 1851 Exhibition of Industry in London, England to the 1900 Paris Exhibition. All-in-all, a great issue of Architectural Forum .
