A Better Way to Build

A History of the Pankow Companies

Beschreibung

While architects have been the subject of many scholarly studies, we know very little about the companies that built the structures they designed. Extending beyond the scope of most business biographies, this book is a study in industry innovation and the power of corporate culture, as well as the story of one particular company and the individuals who created it.
