(ACIER) Paris, Office Technique pour l'Utilisation de l'Acier, 1935.Numerous photogravure plates, plans, elevations, and details, 164pp., crease in front flyleaf, large folio (550x430mm.), coloured decorative boards (designed by Cassandre) edged with white leather which is slightly scuffed, black leather spine with two short cracks at spine ends. Binding signed 'Barast", apparently one of a number of special copies for presentation, this copy numbered '8' and inscribed to a M. Bruneton. The record of a competition, with 13 invited entries, for an enormous exhibition building at La Défense on the outskirts of Paris. The competition was organised by O.T.U.A., publishers of the magazine l'Acier [Steel], to exemplify the spectacular possibilities of steel in modern building. The challenge was taken up by the 13 entrants with varying success. The results range through Art Deco monumental, severe Modernist, and near-visionary. ( A circular structure by Beaudouin et Lods is particularly interesting). Detailed information is given for each entry - area plans, perspective views, plans, elevations, engineering details and calculations, materials, services. An impressive publication. 2,000.00http://davidspode.com/Illustrations/acier128.jpg128[ALBERTI] JOHNSON, Eugene J.

Like many of the architect/designers of this period, Binet created designs in most areas of the applied arts. This folio has architectural details, and designs for furniture, jewellery, wallpaper, light fittings, wrought iron &c. somewhat apart from mainstream French Art Nouveau, many inspired by the German naturalist Ernst Haeckel's beautiful detailed drawings of marine micro-organisms which had become much admired by the 1890's, especially in Germany by Jugendstil designers such as Obrist, Endell, &c.

George Taylor,craftsman, publisher and journalist. "Pre-eminent among his publications was 'Building' which upheld 'The New Journalism'—not only to 'write' things, but to 'do' things—and fostered modernism in architecture and town planning. The journal greeted the building of a national capital in Canberra with enthusiasm, welcoming Walter Burley Griffin and publishing important articles by him (1912-14). Taylor helped to found the Institute of Local Government Engineers of Australasia in 1909 and the Town Planning Association of New South Wales in 1913." (Australian Dictionary of Biography). This book recounts his travels across Canada and the United States with much emphasis on building and town planning.
