Inclui ainda diagramas e fotomontagens. Edição original rara desta monografia do «Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux» pavilhão efémero concebido por Le Corbusier e Pierre Jeanneret para a Exposição Internacional «Arte e Técnica» de Paris de 1937. Constitui simultaneamente o registo documental do pavilhão e um manifesto urbanístico de alcance programático. O título provocatório — «Canhões munições Obrigado! Alojamentos. por favor» — sintetiza a tese central: os recursos consagrados ao rearmamento deveriam ser canalizados para a resolução da crise habitacional. Publicada em 1938 pelas Éditions de l'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui — braço editorial da influente revista homónima fundada em 1930 pelo engenheiro e escultor André Bloc 1896–1966 — a obra integra a «Collection de l'Équipement de la Civilisation Machiniste» colecção que reuniu as principais publicações teóricas de Le Corbusier entre as quais «La Ville Radieuse» 1935. A obra organiza-se como uma transposição para o livro da experiência espacial do pavilhão estruturando-se em torno das secções temáticas que o compunham. 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. 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 Museu Itinerante de Educação Popular . Tratava-se de uma peça de propaganda arquitectónica destinada a vulgarizar os princípios do urbanismo funcional junto do grande público numa época em que Le Corbusier apesar da sua notoriedade internacional enfrentava uma persistente dificuldade em concretizar projectos de envergadura em território francês. A dimensão rural da obra merece destaque: as secções dedicadas à quinta e à aldeia cooperativa documentam a colaboração entre Le Corbusier e o sindicalista agrário Norbert Bézard 1896–1956 que desde 1933 incitou o arquitecto a aplicar à vida rural os mesmos princípios de racionalização e conforto que norteavam o seu modelo de cidade funcional a «Ville Radieuse» — plano urbanístico teórico publicado em 1935 que propunha habitação em altura cobrindo apenas 12% do solo com os restantes 88% reservados a parques e espaços verdes separação rigorosa entre trânsito automóvel e peões e equipamentos colectivos integrados. As páginas dedicadas ao planeamento da Village de Piacé com os seus esquemas de silo cooperativa de abastecimento clube escola e corpo de habitação constituem o testemunho mais completo desta colaboração publicado em vida dos seus autores. Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris dito Le Corbusier La Chaux-de-Fonds 1887 – Roquebrune-Cap-Martin 1965 foi arquitecto urbanista pintor e teórico figura central do movimento moderno em arquitectura. Estabelecido em Paris desde 1917 desenvolveu ao longo das décadas de 1920 e 1930 uma vasta obra teórica e projectual — de «Vers une architecture» 1923 à «Ville Radieuse» 1935 — que transformou radicalmente o pensamento urbanístico do século XX. O pavilhão e a presente monografia inserem-se na fase de intensa produção editorial que precedeu a sua obra construída do pós-guerra nomeadamente a Unité d'Habitation de Marselha 1947–1952 concretização dos princípios habitacionais aqui expostos na qual colaborou o arquitecto e pintor português Nadir Afonso 1920–2013. EN Oblong book. 23.5 × 29.5 cm. 147 i pp. Publisher’s binding. Cardboard with a cloth-bound spine. the front cover features a polychrome photomontage by the author inspired by Constructivism juxtaposing fragments of artillery and aviation with images of urban planning and housing. Text richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs by Albin Salaün René Lévy and various amateur photographers reproductions of original drawings by Le Corbusier photographs of models with occasional colour details aerial photographs plans sections and technical drawings. It also includes diagrams and photomontages. Rare first edition of this monograph on the ‘Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux’ a temporary pavilion designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret for the 1937 International Exhibition of ‘Art and Technology’ in Paris. It serves both as a documentary record of the pavilion and as an urban planning manifesto with a programmatic scope. The provocative title — “Cannons ammunition Thank you! Housing… please” — encapsulates the central thesis: resources devoted to rearmament should be channelled towards resolving the housing crisis. Published in 1938 by Éditions de l'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui — the publishing arm of the influential magazine of the same name founded in 1930 by the engineer and sculptor André Bloc 1896–1966 — the work forms part of the ‘Collection de l'Équipement de la Civilisation Machiniste’ a collection that brought together Le Corbusier’s principal theoretical publications including ‘La Ville Radieuse’ 1935. The book is organised as a transposition of the pavilion’s spatial experience into written form structured around the thematic sections that comprised it. 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. The pavilion inaugurated on 17 July 1937 in the Saint-Cloud district was a demountable structure—a vast yellow waterproof canvas tent suspended from sixteen metal lattice pillars—designed as the Travelling Museum of Popular Education . 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. 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 1896–1956 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 Village de Piacé 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. 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 d’Habitation in Marseille 1947–1952 the realisation of the housing principles outlined here on which the Portuguese architect and painter Nadir Afonso 1920–2013 collaborated.

It was the world's legendary journal at the forefront of product industrial and communications design. Wilhelm Wagenfeld was a Bauhaus-trained German industrial designer. He studied under the famed Modernist artist László Moholy-Nagy and the German designer Christian Dell at the Bauhaus school. His belief that "to be useful is to be beautiful" is evident in his designs some of which are still in production. Wagenfeld refused to join the Nazi party and as punishment he was sent as a "political pest" to serve on the Eastern Front with the flying corp. He was captured in 1945 and held in a Russian prisoner of war camp until September 1945 when he returned to Weisswasser. Curt Schweicher 1908 - 1988 was a German art historian and museum director. From 1929 to 1933 he studied art history archeology and French literature in Paris Berlin and Bonn but was unable to complete his studies because he was exmatriculated after the Nazis came to power in 1933. When he and his wife the painter Margrit Lauer 1914-2002 gave assistance to opponents of the Nazi regime they faced arrest by the Gestapo and fled to Switzerland in 1940 where he was interned in Geneva. . . 1958.
