Trade paperback. Condition: Good. 336, [2] pages. Contains 442 illustrations. Introduction by Wolfgang Pehnt (who was an editor at the Gerd Hatje publishing house). The front and back cover have flaps. Illustrated front cover. Name, date and affiliation of previous owner in ink on fep (Eric Delong, possibly the Eric Delong who first began working for Grand Rapids in 1995. He was promoted to deputy city manager in 1999, a position he's held until retiring in 2022.) Gerd Hatje (14 April 1915 - 24 July 2007) was a German publisher. The publishing house that he founded in 1945, named the Humanitas Verlag, renamed in 1947 as Verlag Gerd Hatje, is internationally known for contemporary art, photography and architecture. It merged in to Hatje Cantz in 1999. Hatje apprenticed as a typesetter. In November 1945, Hatje received a license to found a publishing house from the military government, which he called Humanitas Verlag. It first published literature, novellas, novels, world literature (Weltliteratur), and books on jazz. He renamed the house Verlag Gerd Hatje in 1947. In the 1950s and 1960s, Hatje changed the focus to art, photography, and architecture. He had contact with and was a friend of contemporary artists such as Hans Arp, Willi Baumeister, Joseph Beuys, Max Bill, Georges Braque, Marcel Breuer, Marc Chagall, Christo, Le Corbusier, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Walter Gropius, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and James Stirling. He collaborated with international publishers such as Harry N. Abrams and Thames and Hudson. Hatje described publishing as "intellectual spaces are made accessible". Thirty-one distinguished architectural writes from sixteen countries and three continents have combined to produce this, the first encyclopedia of modern architecture ever published. a lucid introduction sketches the rise of the modern movement from the early years of the nineteenth century, after which the articles follow in alphabetical order. the reader can turn in a moment to concise, authoritative expositions of the basic materials of modern architectures under Steel, Reinforced Concrete, and Glass, or find a ready explanation of all the secondary developments form these, such as suspended Roofs, Space Frames, Prefabrication, and Curtain Walling. The principal manifestations of the modern movement are fully recorded, from Constructivism and Expressionism via Functionalism and the International Style to Brutalism. Contributions to modern architecture can be studied by schools, as under De Stijl, Bauhaus, and Chicago; by countries from Great Britain to Mexico and Japan, and by individual architects, scores of whim are treated briefly, while the great masters, Le Corbusier, Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Wright are the subjects of longer appraisals. The book is illustrated with an abundance of clear and relevant photographs, which constitutes a valuable pictorial archive of every period and aspect of modern architecture. This is not only an extremely important work in its own right as the first encyclopedia of modern architecture but also stands out as an essential baseline for understanding what had come after this mid-twentieth century snapshot in time.
