Lane, Barbara Miller

Architecture and Politics in Germany, 1918-1945

Cambridge, Mass, Harvard University Press, 1968. 1st edition. Hardcover. Black and white cloth boards, black and white illustrated dust jacket with black lettering, 278 pp, profusely illustrated in bw. "In a close analysis of intellectual, political, social, and economic developments in the Weimar Republic, Mrs. Lane shows that Nazi views on architecture were generated by a complex of historical factors. Moreover, far from being cohesive or monolithic, Nazi cultural policy was largely the product of the conflicting ideas about art held by the Nazi leaders and their efforts to advance these ideas during internal power struggles. Although primarily concerned with the origins and nature of Nazi cultural policy, Mrs. Lane, in the course of her superbly illustrated study, provides much new information on such relevant subjects as the development of modern architecture in Germany during the period, the artistic and political thought of its creator, the early history of the Bauhaus, housing conditions and housing policy in the Weimar Republic, and Nazi political concepts, cultural organizations, and propaganda methods."- dust jacket.

Pierre Chareau: Designer and Architect

Koln, Benedikt Taschen, 1992. Softcover. Pictorial wraps with white and red lettering, 160 pp. illustrated throughout in both bw and color. Text in English, French, and German. "'La Maison de Verre,' (House of Glass) in Paris by Pierre Chareau (1883-1950) has become a Mecca for contemporary desingers and architects. Upon its completion in the 30s, the facade of glass bricks and numerous items of movable built-in furniture caused a furore. The international press compared it to the courtyard houses of Moorish Andalusia, a ship or even an Eskimo igloo. Today it is regarded as a classic. This unique achievement in the history of architecture is portrayed here in detail, along with the other houses, furniture, designs and projects by Pierre Chareau. Here, for the first time his complete works are accessible to a wide readership." - from inside flap. VG (minimal signs of shelf wear at corners, all pages clear and intact) .

Villa Muller: A Work of Adolf Loos

New Yotk, Princeton Architectural Press, 1994. Softcover. Black wraps with white and green lettering, 105 pp. illustrations throughout, some in color. "The Villa Muller, built in Prague in 1930, is one of Loos's best designs. Inaccessible for twenty years, this seminal work never received the exposure commensurate with its position in the history of modern architecture - until now. The authors are among the first scholars to have been admitted into the building, and their meticulous research and documentation has yielded an indispensible book for anyone interested in the work of this modern master. Their work reveals Loos's original palette of materials and colors, and a series of design submissions at a local building office in Prague, which disclose new information about Loos's design methods. Illustrated in color and black-and-white, Villa Muller includes a foreword by John Hejduk." - website description.
