1933009619Paris: Les éditions G. Crès et Cie 1933 8vo 24.5 cm 88 2 pp. Printed wrappers wrappers slightly rubbed small tear at the tail of the spine. Uncut copy of this polemical pamphlet by Le Corbusier Charles-Édouard Jeanneret 1887-1965 one of the central figures of twentieth-century modernist architecture and urbanism. Published in the Collection de "L'Esprit Nouveau" the text constitutes a vigorous defense of the modern architectural movement against attacks from academic and institutional circles. It was written as a direct response to a campaign led by the architect Gaston Umbdenstock professor at the École Polytechnique and studio chief at the École des Beaux-Arts who on 14 March 1932 delivered a widely publicized denunciation of modern architecture at the Salle Wagram before an audience convened by the Chambers of Commerce with the support of the Institut de France. Le Corbusier interprets this offensive as representing the interests of traditional building trades threatened by new construction methods such as steel framing reinforced concrete and industrialized techniques that were transforming architecture. The pamphlet opens with the declaration that it introduces no new doctrine but serves purely as a "defense" warning that the real danger to the modern movement lies less in overt academic opposition than in the infiltration of academic attitudes within modernism itself. The immediate occasion for the publication was a request from supporters in Algiers where Le Corbusier had recently delivered well-attended lectures on architecture and urbanism for a response to Umbdenstock's attack which had been widely circulated there. A vivid document of the ideological conflicts surrounding modern architecture in the early 1930s. Les éditions G. Crès et Cie paperback

19311712031931. LE CORBUSIER. Salubra Colour Keyboards. Loose introductory text leaf in English 62 single-page monochrome wallpaper samples and 12 pages of "Clavier de Couleurs" each with 28 colour samples and 2 cardboard screens in the pocket. Oblong folio 285 x 220 mm. bound in original publisher's boards in a new cloth folding box. Basel: Salubra 1931. Incredibly rare first edition of Le Corbusier's legendary Farbenklaviatur. Le Corbusier first sketched the premises of a logically structured system for color design in the magazine l'Esprit nouveau in 1921. In 1931 he published the first of the two collections of colours which he designed for the Salubra wallpaper company. In his own words "These Keyboards of Colour aim at stimulating personal selection by placing the task of choosing on a sound systematic basis. In my opinion they offer a method of approach which is accurate and effective one which makes it possible to plan in the modern home colour harmonies which are definitely architectural and yet suited to the natural taste and needs of the individual." In this first collection he organized the tones on 12 sample cards in such a manner that one could use a slider to isolate or combine different sets of three to five colours. Each of these cards contained a different chromatic atmosphere intended to produce a particular spatial effect. Thus Le Corbusier not only created a useful tool but also a kind of testament to the purist theory of colour. First three wallpaper samples with some minor chipping but otherwise a remarkably well-preserved copy of what was a working tool of which almost no copies have survived. hardcover
