1950s Villas in France: Architecture of 1950s Houses, by Raphaëlle Saint-Pierre and Claude Parent, Norma Editions, 2005. A rare book on modern post-war villas. 223 pages, very good condition, dust jacket with slight wear. ISBN 9782909283944. French text.
Discover the villas and private houses of the 1950s in France, a little-known and fascinating architectural heritage. While mid-century design was enjoying a surge in popularity, this book reveals how a new bourgeoisie built experimental, innovative, and often utopian villas, far removed from large housing projects.
Drawing on American, Scandinavian, Japanese, and Brazilian influences, and encompassing organicism, brutalism, rationalism, and total art, this book analyzes the French architectural vocabulary of the 1950s and presents 25 iconic houses by Le Corbusier, Claude Parent, André Lurçat, Jean Prouvé, Alvar Aalto, Pierre Soulages, and other leading figures.
Ideal for enthusiasts of modern architecture, 1950s vintage design, and 20th-century heritage.
