London, 1938-9. [32057] Vol 1: 61pp (+ vpp adverts). Vol 2: 96pp (+ ix pp ads). Vol 3: 112pp (+ xiipp ads). Vol 4: 101pp (+ xviipp ads). All illustrated throughout. Publisher’s spiral bound card covers, with cover designs by Oliver Cox. 22x16. Unusually bright copies with spiral bindings intact. One of the best sets we have seen. £650.00



A rare & lovely set of this very significant journal. With contributions by Le Corbusier, CIAM, Max Fry, Moholy-Nagy, Gropius, Wells Coates, Aalto, Korn, Chermayeff and other notable architects. (Editors are unstated; though Howard Cleminson was one) “Focus” was aimed at students and younger architects and the approach is almost entirely modernist. “We were born into a civilisation whose leaders, whose ideals, whose culture had failed.”, states the first editorial, which is followed by a Le Corbusier text, “If I had to teach you architecture”. The journal was well received and seemed to be ongoing: issue 4, summer 1939, was the most substantial so far. But a new War was looming and there were no further issues.

------------------

An outstanding publication. Interbau 1957 was a showcase for post-war architecture and urban design. Located in Berlin's Hansavierte district, the overall plan was by Otto Banning and the urban design element by Gerhard Jobst and Willy Kreuer. Especially important was the famous Interbau housing development. Architects here included Aalto, Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Gropius, Jacobsen, Max Taut, Scharoun, FRS Yorke et al. Interbau 57 was viewed at the time as a counterweight to the monumental structures then being put up in East Berlin, eg Stalinallee etc. Certainly no expense seem to have been spared.

A seminal architectural work. Kurakawa had already produced a remarkable range of buildings in Japan, the USA and Europe. He had been one of the originators of Metabolism, a theory formulated by an avant-garde group of architects in Tokyo in 1960. Metabolism's key concept was that 'the city is an organism capable of different rates of growth, calling for an architecture of flexible and changeable buildings.' In this book, Kurakawa presents his major architectural writings, with many photographs and plans of his most important buildings. The Japanese cultural context is crucial. Rare and outstanding item.

Faint crockling to end papers, as usual, very faint rubbing to corners else nice copy and unusually in the dust wrapper, although this is very fragile with small pieces missing on edges and spine. £300.00



Taut explores the potential of new mass-produced housing methods, then beginning to be employed by Le Corbusier, Oud, May etc (as well as in his own work). As one of the main proponent of Das Neue Bauen, he strongly criticises contemporary orthodox German housing. An influential 1920s work, also notable for its modernist book design. Scarce, particularly as here in the striking dust wrapper.
42 TAUT Bruno Ruf Zum Bauen. Zweite Publikation des Arbeiterrats für Kunst.

Berlin, Wasmuth, 1920. [30302] 48pp, including 43 text illustrations, bibliog + 2 single-sided colour plates. Introduction by Adolf Behne.

Other members included the Luckhardt Brothers, Scharoun, Max Taut, Hablich, Finsterlin etc. This work was published in conjunction with an exhibition of the group in 1920. The poet and 'phantastischer' Paul Scheerbart, with his astral fantasies of glass architecture, had a profound effect on the group and this influence shows itself in the illustrations and text. Indeed, this beautiful publication can be regarded as a posthumus celebration of Scheerbart's ideas on utopian architecture. Rare and beautiful item.

Jena, Eugen Diederichs, 1919. [30847] 143pp, 72 illustrations (drawings, photos, some tipped-in). Patterned boards. 25x19. Spine label scuffed, some light staining to top of cover and tiny scuff generally a good copy of a fragile item. £250.00
