FORD FOCUSED

摘要

At over 400m long, Albert Kahn's Ford Assembly Building in Richmond, California broke new ground when it was built in 1931. Situated on the northern shore of San Francisco Bay, it commands dramatic views of the city's distinctive skyline. Surviving the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the building's distinctive form - the continuous bands of windows and sawtooth north lights - has some of Kahn's most impressive interiors; particularly the building's awe-inspiring Craneway at the southernmost end, but also the two levels of former production line and administrative spaces that now host some of San Francisco's thriving industries.
