16pp + 18 sepia toned plates laid into the publisher's silkscreened portfolio, as issued. This is the seventh installment of the Architectural Association's coveted Folio Series - a handsome black decorative box that contains eighteen reproductions on heavy stock of James Wines' drawings for SITE as submitted to the design competition for The Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt, subsequently exhibited in 1985 at the AA's London gallery. A handsome example of this elusive object whose box shows just a bit of light wear and handling along with a single short tear to the lip of the top inside edge.
