Discover *Villas 50 en France*—the definitive work by Raphaëlle Saint-Pierre and Claude Parent, published by Norma Éditions in 2005—which explores the architecture of 1950s houses and post-war modern villas. This rare, 223-page volume in French (in excellent condition, with only slight signs of wear on the dust jacket; ISBN 9782909283944) highlights a little-known architectural heritage: the story of a new middle class commissioning experimental, innovative, and often utopian villas—far removed from large-scale housing complexes.
Drawing on American, Scandinavian, Japanese, and Brazilian influences—and covering styles ranging from organicism, Brutalism, and rationalism to the concept of *Gesamtkunstwerk* (total work of art)—the book analyzes the French architectural vocabulary of the 1950s. It showcases 25 iconic houses designed by Le Corbusier, Claude Parent, André Lurçat, Jean Prouvé, Alvar Aalto, Pierre Soulages, and other renowned figures. It is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of modern architecture, 1950s vintage design, and 20th-century heritage—an essential volume for collectors and aficionados alike.
