Housing was by Lewis Mumford and addressed community planning. There was a Bibliography of Housing and a list of housing photographs in the exposition.

Smith were listed among those who have advanced the study of housing problems. "Modern Architecture: International Exhibition" is the title of an exhibition that took place in 1932 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Curated by Philip Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock, the exhibition introduced an emerging architectural style characterized by simplified geometry and a lack of ornamentation; known as the "International Style," it was described by Johnson as "probably the first fundamentally original and widely distributed style since the Gothic." The exhibition, along with an accompanying catalogue, laid the principles for the canon of Modern architecture. In 1930 Alfred Barr, the then director of the MoMA, initiated the museum's first architectural exhibition, claiming that "The Museum of Modern Art has closely followed this international activity in architecture. Although the Museum has until now exhibited only works of painting and sculpture, it has felt the need since its inception for a comprehensive exhibition of modern architecture." To curate the exhibition, Barr asked the historian Henry-Russell Hitchcock and architect Philip Johnson, who both spent the following two years researching and collecting materials in Europe. The exhibition opened on February 10th 1932 in the MoMA's Heckscher building, and was attended by 33 thousand people during its six-week duration. Through photographs, drawings and specially crafted models, the carefully curated exhibition illustrated the characteristics of the new style which had emerged in Europe since 1922. The main section of the exhibition, titled "Modern Architects," presented projects by the "leaders of modern architecture":. The exhibition also included another section: "Housing" presented the need for a new domestic environment. The exhibition presented three major principles that laid the foundation of the new "style": the emphasis of volume over mass, the regularity and standardization of elements, and the avoidance of ornament. These principles were applied through architectural elements such as ribbon windows, flat roofs, screen walls, non-structural partitions, as well as a simple use of color and geometry. By emphasizing and categorizing these repeated aspects of the designs, the exhibition established a new "style" in architecture. The exhibition was accompanied by an extensive catalogue, which was to serve as an educational tool. The book played a crucial role in giving a permanent validity to the exhibition, complementing its content rather than documenting it. The book catalogued the morphological and compositional elements of the new style, thus serving not only as an important historical document, but also as a guide book for Modern architecture. Reprint Edition, presumed first printing thus.

Gr.8°, 199 S., zahlr Abb. u. Pläne., Broschur, Mit handschriftlichem Rückenschild, Frontdeckel berieben, min. knickspurig, Fehlstellen am Rückenfuss, durchgestrichener Namenszug a. 2. Bl., sonst sauber. Der wenig bekannte Katalog der berühmtesten Architekturausstellung des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit der Ausstellung: «Modern Architecture» wurde 1932 die Architekturabteilung des brandneuen Museum of Modern Art in New York eröffnet. Dieser Katalog wurde gleichzeitig mit dem Buch «The International Style: Architecture since 1922», ebenfalls von Henry-Russell Hitchcock und Philip Johnson, herausgegeben, mit dem es oft verwechselt wird. Aber es gibt grundlegende Unterschiede zwischen den beiden, die den Abstand zwischen ihren Titeln rechtfertigen. "Modern Architects" ist keine sture Suche nach einem Stil, der, wie bei der Gotik, international sein sollte, losgelöst von Persönlichkeiten und Diskussionen über bestimmte Werke. Modern Architects" ist das Wunder einer Reise nach Europa und ein amerikanisches Bestreben nach originellen Beiträgen mehr als die ewige Nachahmung europäischer Stile.Die einflussreichste Ausstellung des 20. Jahrhunderts, die zweideutige und umstrittene Früchte trug, tastete sich an die unbekannte Schönheit der modernen Architektur heran, mit einer Auswahl von Werken, die als Leuchttürme der Moderne wahrgenommen wurden, von denen viele heute in Vergessenheit geraten sind und die in diesem Buch wiederentdeckt werden, in einer Ausgabe, in der schon die Bearbeitung und die Reihenfolge ein Stück Geschichte der Moderne sind, ein Stück der Suche nach größtmöglicher Authentizität.Text: engl.The little-known catalogue of the most famous architecture exhibition of the 20th century. The exhibition: "Modern Architecture" opened the architecture department of the brand new Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1932. This catalogue was published at the same time as the book "The International Style: Architecture since 1922", also by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson, with which it is often confused. But there are fundamental differences between the two that justify the distance between their titles. "Modern Architects" is not a stubborn search for a style that, as with Gothic, should be international, detached from personalities and discussions about particular works. Modern Architects" is the miracle of a journey to Europe and an American quest for original contributions more than the eternal imitation of European styles.The most influential exhibition of the 20th century, bearing ambiguous and controversial fruit, it probed into the unknown beauty of modern architecture with a selection of works that were perceived as beacons of modernism, many of which are now forgotten, and which are rediscovered in this book, in an edition in which the very editing and sequence are a piece of modernist history, a piece of the search for the greatest possible authenticity. 1200 gr.

First edition of this seminal work in architecture. Octavo, original cloth, illustrations of work by Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, J. J. P. Oud, Mies van der Rohe, Raymond M. Hood, Howe & Lescaze, and Richard J. Neutra. Presentation copy, inscribed by Philip Johnson on the front free endpaper, "For Jim with thanks for his help Philip Johnson." Light rubbing, near fine in the very rare dust jacket with light chipping. This is the first jacketed copy that we have encountered. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Initially produced as the catalog to accompany a controversial and groundbreaking 1932 Museum of Modern Art show of the then new architecture emerging in Europe and America, The International Style quickly became the definitive statement of the principles underlying the work of such giants as Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and other pioneers. It might be said that Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson discovered as well as defined "the International Style," and over the decades their book has served as a frame for growth in the architectural profession.
