We've covered the news of Ford moving their headquarters to a shiny new facility… and demolishing the Glass House on Michigan avenue from a couple of angles.

First, economic development and the business reasons. Second, the history of Ford's impact on Dearborn, going back a century.

Now, in the third and final installment of the series, we're getting into the history of the Glass House itself. The significance of its architecture and the time in Metro Detroit in the country.

We're also going to talk about fanciful plans that were drawn up for Ford more than fifty years ago that would have remade the look of the city into something almost out of science fiction.

Dearborn might have gotten it's own rapid transit hub… and its own People Mover… as part of a massive redevelopment of that middle of the city that was Henry Ford's old land into everything from shopping to industrial to company campus.

Our guest is Mark Nickita, FAIA. He's an Architect, Urban Designer, and President of ArchiveDS. He's also a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
