About This Item
Bruxelles, Librairie des Arts du Bâtiment F. Salmain et Fils, n.d. (1937). (size c. 37 x 27,5 cm). One page with a pricelist plus 52 plates held in portfolio (some browning around the edges). Halfcloth, boards with title illustration pasted on it.
This portfolio contains 26 designs for modernist houses, each illustrated with two plates: the facade and a plan. The building prices can be found on the price-list that is laid in the front of the work. Rejecting ornament and embracing minimalism, Modernism became the single most important new style or philosophy of architecture and design of the 20th century. It was associated with an analytical approach to the function of buildings, a strictly rational use of (often new) materials, structural innovation and the elimination of ornament. It was also known as International Modernism or International Style, after an exhibition of modernist architecture in America in 1932 by the architect Philip Johnson. [c.f. website RIBA].
