Minor rubbing. VG. dustwrapper. Architectural History MIT Press Cambridge MA 2001 orig.cloth 24x14cm xvii406 pp. "Le Corbusier's first trip to the United States in 1935 is generally considered a failure because it produced no commissions. The experience nevertheless had a profound effect on him both personally and professionally. Sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York Le Corbusier promoted his ideas through a lecture tour exhibition and press conferences as well as in meetings with industrialists housing reformersNew Deal technocrats and editors. His lectures were watershed events that advanced the cause of European modernism. Yet he returned to France empty-handed and published a bittersweet account Quand les cath drales taient blanches: voyage au pays des timides "When the Cathedrals Were White: Journey to the Country of Timid People" which faulted America for lacking the courage to adopt his ideas. In this major study of Le Corbusier's American tour Mardges Bacon reconstructs his encounter with America in all its fascinating detail. Through extensive archival research and interviews she presents a critical history of the tour as well as a nuanced and intimate portrait of the architect. Drawing on the methods of microhistory she also considers how small ordinary events affect larger biographical architectural and cultural developments. Bacon notes that Le Corbusier's dialogue with America was drafted within a spirited European discourse on am ricanisme. She contends that the trip validated his concept of a "second machine age" that would unite standardized industrial methods with a new humanism." - Publisher's description. MIT Press hardcover
Minor rubbing. VG. Textual photo illustrations. American Architects Architectural History Fndtn. New York / Cambridge MA 1986 orig.cloth 27x20cm xiii405 pp "Architect of the United States Naval Academy the Corcoran Gallery of Artthe Scribner Building and model tenement houses Ernest Flagg 1857-1947 advanced the cause of classicism while demonstrating a deep concern for architecture's social responsibility. This study of one of the most innovative practitioners of the Beaux-Arts movement in America covers Flagg's early training and Beaux-Arts works his town and country houses his commercial and utilitarian buildings the Singer Tower which established a new height record while setting a precedent for New York City skyscraper restrictions in scale and density urban housing reform and his small houses of modular design. Flagg the author notes combined French nineteenth century aesthetics and the principles of academic classicism with American structural technology to create significant buildings during the Progressive Era from 1890 to 1917. His contributions to zoning and height regulations were essential to New York's first laws governing this aspect of the city's architecture. A confirmed individualist Flagg produced highly original writings and ingenious inventions for construction techniques in low-cost housing and railroad cars. Flagg's adaptation of classicism and his concern for urban contextualism make this study of his work particularly timely. His designs have immediate relevance for contemporary architects and preservationists as well as those interested in the social and architectural history of New York City." - Publisher's description.
