AIA Detroit: The American Institute of Architects Guide to Detroit Architecture
"Detroit possesses an architectural heritage that is under-appreciated, even unknown, locally and nationally. The stock of pre-World War II high-rise buildings, for instance, is probably the fourth finest in the country, and is the downtown's greatest asset as it redevelops. This comprehensive, carefully-crafted guide will increase appreciation of Detroit's architecture from high to low, from cherished to forgotten, and from quotidian to exotic."
