London, 1938-9. [32057] Vol 1: 61pp (+ vpp
adverts). Vol 2: 96pp (+ ix pp ads). Vol 3: 112pp
(+ xiipp ads). Vol 4: 101pp (+ xviipp ads). All
illustrated throughout. Publisher’s spiral bound
card covers, with cover designs by Oliver Cox.
22x16. Unusually bright copies with spiral
bindings intact. One of the best sets we have
seen. £650.00
A rare & lovely set of this very significant
journal. With contributions by Le Corbusier,
CIAM, Max Fry, Moholy-Nagy, Gropius, Wells
Coates, Aalto, Korn, Chermayeff and other
notable architects. (Editors are unstated; though
Howard Cleminson was one) “Focus” was aimed
at students and younger architects and the
approach is almost entirely modernist. “We were
born into a civilisation whose leaders, whose
ideals, whose culture had failed.”, states the first
editorial, which is followed by a Le Corbusier
text, “If I had to teach you architecture”. The
journal was well received and seemed to be
ongoing: issue 4, summer 1939, was the most
substantial so far. But a new War was looming
and there were no further issues.

17. Future Systems. HERRON Ron, ROGERS Richard et al Future Systems

September
Berlin, 1957. [32052] 480pp inc plans, maps,
photos etc. With both original advertising
bookmarks. Wraps, 21x20. Covers a little grubby
and rubbed on spine, first and last pages also little
grubby and pages 108 and 110 have crumpled
tears, without loss, at bottom, else good tight
copy. £65.00
An outstanding publication. Interbau 1957 was a
showcase for post-war architecture and urban
design. Located in Berlin's Hansavierte district,
the overall plan was by Otto Banning and the
urban design element by Gerhard Jobst and Willy
Kreuer. Especially important was the famous
Interbau housing development. Architects here
included Aalto, Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Gropius,
Jacobsen, Max Taut, Scharoun, FRS Yorke et al.
Interbau 57 was viewed at the time as a
counterweight to the monumental structures then
being put up in East Berlin, eg Stalinallee etc.
Certainly no expense seem to have been spared.

stamp on front end paper. Possibly new end

A seminal architectural work. Kurakawa had
already produced a remarkable range of
buildings in Japan, the USA and Europe. He had
been one of the originators of Metabolism, a
theory formulated by an avant-garde group of
architects in Tokyo in 1960. Metabolism's key
concept was that 'the city is an organism capable
of different rates of growth, calling for an
architecture of flexible and changeable
buildings.' In this book, Kurakawa presents his
major architectural writings, with many
photographs and plans of his most important
buildings. The Japanese cultural context is
crucial. Rare and outstanding item.

Bruno Taut – three important texts
41. TAUT Bruno Bauen: der neue Wohnbau.
Leipzig, Von Klinkhardt & Biermann, 1927 (1.
bis 5. Tausend), 1st ed. [30306] iv, 75pp, with
166 photo illustrations & plans. Decorative cloth,
designed by Johannes Molzahn. 27x19. Faint
crockling to end papers, as usual, very faint
rubbing to corners else nice copy and unusually in
the dust wrapper, although this is very fragile
with small pieces missing on edges and spine.
£300.00
Taut explores the potential of new mass-produced
housing methods, then beginning to be employed
by Le Corbusier, Oud, May etc (as well as in his
own work). As one of the main proponent of Das
Neue Bauen, he strongly criticises contemporary
orthodox German housing. An influential 1920s
work, also notable for its modernist book design.
Scarce, particularly as here in the striking dust
wrapper.
42. TAUT Bruno Ruf Zum Bauen. Zweite
Publikation des Arbeiterrats für Kunst.
Berlin, Wasmuth, 1920. [30302] 48pp, including
43 text illustrations, bibliog + 2 single-sided
colour plates. Introduction by Adolf Behne. This
copy with the neat signature of Mogens Voltelen,
designer of the Copenhagen Chair. Card, cloth
spine, 23x16. Cover little sunned, Voltelen's
name also written on front, contents vg and
binding tight. New cloth spine. Pictoral dust
wrapper a little rubbed and worn on edges, no
loss. Contents vg. £750.00
The Arbeiterrats für Kunst were a revolutionary
group of architects, founded by Bruno Taut in
1918. Other members included the Luckhardt
Brothers, Scharoun, Max Taut, Hablich,
Finsterlin etc. This work was published in
conjunction with an exhibition of the group in
1920. The poet and 'phantastischer' Paul
Scheerbart, with his astral fantasies of glass
architecture, had a profound effect on the group
and this influence shows itself in the illustrations
and text. Indeed, this beautiful publication can be
regarded as a posthumus celebration of
