#Person1#: Didn't you write a paper about Albert Kahn last semester?
#Person2#: Yes, for my history of architecture class.
#Person1#: Oh, I am taking it now and I have to do some research on industrial architecture. I need to read up on Kahn's factories. So I would like to see what you wrote about them.
#Person2#: I don't think my paper will help; I focus on his classical design like Clements library and office buildings, but you are interested in the modern building he is famous for.
#Person1#: Yes he is best known for his factory, especially the auto plants in Detroit. He made a breakthrough in industrial design. You know before his time, factories were so cmp3ped and inefficient but his factory provide enough light and air and open space. So the cars could be assembled in one huge plant.
#Person2#: I remember reading that previously, factories had wooden frame and the heavy machinery made the buildings vibrate and there were fire hazards too. But when Kahn started to design auto plants around the turn of the century, reinforced concrete had just been invented. Talk about the breakthrough, not only were the buildings sturdy and fireproof but they were cheap to put up too!
#Person1#: You seem to know a lot of about his industrial career.
#Person2#: Actually even though I wrote about his other works, I did a lot of background reading. Let me see if I can dig up that paper for you. There were some books of articles included in my bibliography that you might want to look up at the library.
#Person1# wants to see #Person2#'s paper about Albert Kahn. #Person2# doesn't think #Person2#'s paper will help because it has a different focus from #Person1#'s paper but then changes #Person2#'s mind because the bibliography may be useful to #Person1#.
