Description
View of the Congregation Shaarey Zedek Synagogue in Southfield, Michigan. "The existing modernist structure was designed by Percival Goodman with Albert Kahn Associates. Goodman was responsible for the overall design while Albert Kahn Associates completed the working drawings and all engineering for the project. Goodman who has been referred to as the nation's leading synagogue architect during the mid-twentieth century was brother to noted writer and sociologist Paul Goodman ... The abstract reference to a tent form or clasped praying hands is a relatively common design theme seen in several other examples of religious architecture built in Michigan during the 1950s and 1960s.,"--Michigan Modern website.
