DAS HAUS DES ARCHITEKTEN/ ARCHITECTS' HOMES/ LA MAISON DE L'ARCHITECTE

WINKLER, Robert, Compiler. DAS HAUS DES ARCHITEKTEN/ ARCHITECTS' HOMES/ LA MAISON DE L'ARCHITECTE. Zurich: Girsberger, (1955). 4to. Cloth. 232 pages. Second, enlarged edition. "By means of a tri-lingual text - English, French and German - Mr. Winkler presents examples of forty-four architects' houses from thirteen different countries. The principles generally accepted in the world of architecture, a well as regional traditions, come out more clearly than elsewhere in the architects' house. That is the justification for this book; the architect's homes better than any other, reveals his conception of domestic culture." Profusely illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of photographs and architectural plans. Includes photographs of each architect along with their works including Alvar Aalto, Walter Gropius, Ernst Gisel, Jose Luis Sert, Ken Tange, and other outstanding international architects. Very good.
