Items related to Jean Prouve: The Tropical House
By way of a lecture given in Nancy at the end of the war Jean Prouvé called upon architects, engineers and politicians in charge of France's reconstruction to ponder the need for prefabricated homes. The Tropical House, which he designed some years later for eventual installation in Brazzaville in the former French colony of Congo, encapsulates this manifesto and married industrialisation with modern construction techniques, and design with architecture. Recently restored and exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, the house is generously explored in this catalogue through numerous historical photographs, drawings and documents, along with more recent colour photographs and explanatory essays 160 pages, color & b&w ills / 22 x 28 cm / French, English
