Synopsis
Widely regarded as the most important metal and glass structure of the 19th century, the Palais des Machines was widely admired at the time of its inauguration at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889. Although extremely influential in first half of the 20th century (impressing Behrens and Gropius among others), it subsequently came to represent little more than a footnote in modernist histories. This work seeks to re-establish the building's true significance, demonstrating the Palais's interaction between the thinking of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and innovative approaches towards technology of the era. Each of these monographs is designed to be a complete and accurate archival record, aiming to become a standard reference on that building, for students and scholars as well as practising architects.

PALAIS DES MACHINES: FERDINAND DUTERT
Seller: LIBRERIA LEA+, Santiago, RM, Chile
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Blanda. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrator). 0. The most important metal-and-glass structure of the 19th century, the Palais des Machines dominated the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition, whose complex of structures included Eiffel's famous tower. Designed to proclaim the modernity and industrial strength of France, the gallery occupied almost the entire width of the Champ de Mars. Its elegant span exceeded that of any previous building and its curtain walls, while anticipated in the great railway sheds of the era, were the largest of the 19th century. In this monograph Stuart Durant examines the Palais des Machines in the light of its precedents and the career of its designer, and Angus Low concludes with a structural appraisal of this powerful symbol of industrialization. The book re-establishes the true significance of the building, demonstrating its interaction between the thinking of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and technological innovations of the period. 500 gr.
