- Victor Gruen's Southdale Mall in Minnesota was supposed to be a utopian community center that would replace the street life of a downtown for suburbia. This first modern indoor mall would provide a gathering place modelled after the street life of Gruen's native Vienna, making up just one part of a planned community. Instead it became a place to buy and sell and make money, and was an agent of suburban sprawl, which Gruen opposed.

- Description
- Henry Ford wanted a factory with a huge swath of uninterrupted space to construct his Model Ts, and turned to architect Albert Kahn to build the Highland Park Ford Plant -- and numerous factories after that. The open space and big windows allowed light to reach workers as they did specific, individual tasks on cars that rolled through the factory. It is the prototype for American industrial architecture, but Ford demanded a new building only five years after it opened.
