The Kirklin Clinic, in Birmingham, Alabama, is the first freestanding
medical building designed by one of America's most significant modern
architects, I.M. Pei. The text, written by architectural critic and
historian Aaron Betsky, is based on interviews with the architect and
the surgeon whose vision it was to create this world-class clinic. The
story of the evolution of the clinic is illustrated by many striking
photographs by well-known Los Angeles architectural photographer Tom
Bonner. Co-published with the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
