Summary:
À travers une conférence donnée à Nancy au sortir de la guerre, Jean Prouvé interpelle les architectes, les techniciens et les politiques en charge de la reconstruction sur la nécessité de recourir aux maisons préfabriquées. La Maison tropicale, qu'il conçoit lui-même quelques années plus tard, apparaîtra alors comme la parfaite incarnation de ce manifeste.

Summary:
Jean Prouvé designed "The Tropical House" in 1949 as a prototype for inexpensive, easily assembled housing to transport to France's African colonies. Fabricated in the designer's French workshops, the components for the house were completed in 1951 and flown disassembled to Africa. The house was erected in the town of Brazzaville, Congo, where it remained for nearly 50(...)

Summary:
Jean Prouvé designed "The Tropical House" in 1949 as a prototype for inexpensive, easily assembled housing to transport to France's African colonies. Fabricated in the designer's French workshops, the components for the house were completed in 1951 and flown disassembled to Africa. The house was erected in the town of Brazzaville, Congo, where it remained for nearly 50 years. Jean Prouvé: Tropical House is an in-depth look at the early French modernist's applied theories of prefabricated architecture. Copiously illustrated, this book studies the development of Prouvé's demountable buildings and houses and includes never-before-seen archival materials from the extensive collections of the Centre Pompidou and the designer's estate. The final chapter traces architectural historian Robert Rubin's voyage of discovery as he restored and prepared an exhibition of this iconic experiment in prefabricated housing, along with an appendix of press articles from the period to position the work in its contemporary context.

Summary:
This is the second volume in the four-part series of the Complete Works of Jean Prouvé (1901–84), one of the most significant designers and constructors of this century. This publication covers an important period in Prouvé's life when he designed and produced the lecture theatre seating at the Ecole des Sciences Politiques in Paris and the office furniture for the Parisian electric company. He also created furniture made of stainless steel for a school in Suresnes. In 1934 Prouvé began with the factory production of prefabricated buildings using sheet-steel of which the club house at Buc Airport and the Maison du Peuple in Clichy, one of the most outstanding buildings of Functionalism, are excellent examples. Complementing this detailed catalogue are previously unpublished conversations with Prouvé himself.

À partir des questions que pose la disparition de cette exposition, l'enquête menée par le biais des archives, permet d'élaborer quelques hypothèses et de soulever des enjeux qui sont, non seulement au coeur de la démarche et des convictions de Jean Prouvé, mais également révélatrices du rapport complexe de la construction et du projet de France, comme paralysée par la tension entre milieu culturel et industriel.

Summary:
For many architects he is a landmark - Jean Prouvé, creator of the metal curtain wall, pioneer in its application and early initiator of industrialised building techniques. His unfailing ability to combine functional engineering achievements with artistic sensitivity commands recognition. The period covered in this latest volume is significant in many respects. The post-war years placed enormous demands on housing and school construction. In his Maxéville factory Prouvé developed pre-fabricated housing, facade panelling, light filtering and other systems on a large scale. He was inspired by the works of the automobile and aeronautics industry, developing new applications for aluminium, which he presented in the 1954 Aluminium Centenary Pavilion. Moreover, Prouvé's furnitures of this period have become valuable collectors' items, some of which are now being reissued under licence.
