Title: The Rietveld Schröder House
Description: Bussum, V+K Publishing 1997 48pp, colour and bw photographs and plans 21x21, illustrated with french flaps Near fine Short but very good survey of Rietveld's first architectural commission; what it is especially good is the explanation of the role of his client - Truus Schröder-Schräder - in co-creating the exterior and in particular the interior of the house according to her ideas of a modern way of living, in particular the role of women in society. Her role in the design has often been overlooked.English language version of the original Dutch publication; there is a later (identitical?) English version from Princeton UP.
