Item description from seller

21 x 21cm 96pp good paperback, some minor wear to covers, crease to lower right-hand corner, French text together with black and white reproductions. Henri Labrouste was a French architect important for his early use of iron frame construction. Labrouste is primarily remembered for the two Parisian libraries he designed. The BibliothËque Sainte-GeneviËve, built between 1843 and 1850, is still admired for the attractiveness and restraint of its decoration and for the sensitive use of exposed iron structural elements (columns and arches). Labrouste is also remembered for his second library project, the reading room (1860 67) of the BibliothËque Nationale. Its roof consists of nine decorated metal domes supported by slender cast-iron columns.
