Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. An essay on modern architecture by German architect Heinz Rasch, whose innovative, radical designs often meant they were only ever confined to pages of his sketchbook, and therefore rendered him considerably more obscure than many of his pre-war peers. It wasn t until 2014 that an exhibition at MARTa Herford on him and his brother shed a light on his admirable body of work. Translated by George and Joan Jelinek, and published by Alec; first edition. Tirant in 1967. Slight mean to spine. Mild soiling to dj, with small open tears to top edge.
