It’s very easy to turn a staycation into a mini-architecture field trip! This one was designed around a stay at the Century Plaza Hotel designed by Minoru Yamasaki. There were many other noteworthy architectural buildings near the hotel including the iconic Century Towers, also by Yamasaki.

Architect Corner - Minoru Yamasaki, Michigan

When you happen to be near Detroit and have a small window of free time to archi-tour, where to go? I chose to walk the campus of Wayne State University to view the Minoru Yamasaki buildings.
