Description
This book explores the work of French architect Jean Prouvé, focusing on his 1956 Demountable House. During World War II, Prouvé designed portable and demountable barracks for the French army, laying the groundwork for his later innovative designs.
The French government commissioned Prouvé to create affordable housing for those displaced after the war, leading him to refine his patented axial portal frame technology. Although few of these structures were built, a dedicated gallery has worked tirelessly over 27 years to preserve and promote Prouvé's demountable designs, with their collection now comprising 22 examples.
Richly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs, this volume provides a unique insight into Prouvé's groundbreaking work. The book offers a detailed look at his 1956 Demountable House, shedding light on the architect's innovative approach to design and construction.
