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

Abre com uma reflexão sobre o alojamento como esperança da civilização maquinista seguida de uma apresentação da Carta de Atenas e dos trabalhos do CIAM Congressos Internacionais de Arquitectura Moderna incluindo os resultados do 4.º Congresso de Atenas 1933 e a preparação do 5.º dedicado à habitação e ao lazer. O índice regista entre outras secções: a análise crítica do estado de Paris o «Plan de Paris 37» a proposta de reorganização do Ilot Insalubre n.º 6 no bairro do Marais o projecto do arranha-céus cartesiano como centro administrativo a reforma agrária com os planos para a «Ferme Radieuse» e o «Village Coopératif» de Piacé Sarthe e ainda um curioso projecto de barco de salvamento insubmersível apresentado por Jean Badovici.</p>_x000d_<p>O pavilhão inaugurado a 17 de Julho de 1937 no sector de Saint-Cloud era uma estrutura desmontável uma vasta tenda de lona impermeável amarela suspensa de dezasseis pilares metálicos em treliça concebida como <em>Museu Itinerante de Educação Popular</em>.

It opens with a reflection on housing as the hope of machine-age civilisation followed by a presentation of the Athens Charter and the work of the CIAM International Congresses of Modern Architecture including the outcomes of the 4th Congress in Athens 1933 and the preparations for the 5th dedicated to housing and leisure. The table of contents includes among other sections: a critical analysis of the state of Paris the Plan de Paris 37 the proposal to reorganise the Ilot Insalubre No. 6 in the Marais district the project for a Cartesian skyscraper as an administrative centre agrarian reform with plans for the Ferme Radieuse and the Village Coopératif in Piacé Sarthe and also a curious project for an unsinkable lifeboat presented by Jean Badovici.</p>_x000d_<p>The pavilion inaugurated on 17 July 1937 in the Saint-Cloud district was a demountable structurea vast yellow waterproof canvas tent suspended from sixteen metal lattice pillarsdesigned as the <em>Travelling Museum of Popular Education</em>. It was a piece of architectural propaganda intended to popularise the principles of functional urbanism amongst the general public at a time when Le Corbusier despite his international renown faced persistent difficulties in realising major projects on French soil.</p>_x000d_<p>The rural dimension of the work is particularly noteworthy: the sections devoted to the farm and the cooperative village document the collaboration between Le Corbusier and the agricultural trade unionist Norbert Bézard 18961956 who from 1933 onwards encouraged the architect to apply to rural life the same principles of rationalisation and comfort that guided his model of the functional city the Ville Radieuse a theoretical urban plan published in 1935 which proposed high-rise housing covering just 12% of the land with the remaining 88% reserved for parks and green spaces a strict separation between motor traffic and pedestrians and integrated community facilities. The pages devoted to the planning of the <em> Village de Piacé</em> with their diagrams of the silo supply cooperative club school and housing complex constitute the most comprehensive account of this collaboration published during the authors lifetimes.</p>_x000d_<p>Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris known as Le Corbusier La Chaux-de-Fonds 1887 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin 1965 was an architect urban planner painter and theorist and a central figure in the modernist movement in architecture. Based in Paris from 1917 he developed a vast body of theoretical and design work throughout the 1920s and 1930s from Vers une architecture 1923 to Ville Radieuse 1935 which radically transformed 20th-century urban thinking. The pavilion and this monograph form part of the period of intense editorial output that preceded his post-war built work notably the Unité dHabitation in Marseille 19471952 the realisation of the housing principles outlined here on which the Portuguese architect and painter Nadir Afonso 19202013 collaborated.</p>_x000d_<p>Referências/References:<br />Catalogue SUDOC 193732408<br />Fondation Le Corbusier Paris ficha do pavilhão e arquivos.</p> M-12-C-83 hardcover

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
