Summary:
Written by Stanislaus von Moos and originally published in 1968, this first comprehensive and critical survey of Le Corbusier's life and work soon became a standard reference text.

Summary:
The diverse works of architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (?1661–1736) ranged from small architectural details to ambitious urban plans, from new parish churches to work on the monument of his age, St. Paul’s Cathedral. As a young man Hawksmoor assisted Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, emerging from these formidable apprenticeships to design some of the most vigorous and dramatic buildings in England. In this engaging book, architectural historian Vaughan Hart presents a fresh view of Hawksmoor’s built and planned work. In addition, Hart offers the first coherent explanation of Hawksmoor’s theory of architecture. The book explains why Hawksmoor’s buildings look the way they do, what contemporary events influenced his work, and how such ancient buildings as Solomon’s temple and Mausolus’s tomb inspired him. Underscoring the unique qualities of the architect’s accomplishments and aspirations, Hart establishes with new clarity Hawksmoor’s vital role in the development of English architecture.

Summary:
Première monographie sur Mallet-Stevens (1886-1945), un des architectes modernistes français les plus connus. Le palais Stoclet, édifié par l’architecte viennois Josef Hoffmann pour son oncle à Bruxelles, aura une influence déterminante sur son art. Mallet-Stevens arrive effectivement au modernisme par le chemin de la Sécession viennoise, ce qui confère à ses œuvres une élégance et un raffinement rares. Pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, il fut avec Pierre Chareau, G. Guévrékian, Le Corbusier et André Lurçat l’un des rares protagonistes du Style International en France. Le livre évoque également ses interventions dans les décors de cinémas.
