Book ID: 100469
Jean Prouv began to design portable and demountable barracks for the French army during the Second World War. After the war, the French government commissioned Prouv to design inexpensive, effective housing for the newly homeless, prompting him to perfect his patented axial portal frame to build easily constructed demountable houses. Few of these groundbreaking structures were built, making them exceedingly rare today prompting Galerie Patrick SeguinÕs tireless efforts over the past 27 years to preserve and promote these important designs. The gallery owns the largest collection of Prouvs demountables, 22 in total.
This volume focuses on his 1956 Demountable House, and is luxuriously illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs.
