About the Item
L'Architecture des Années 30 a Paris (1930s Architecture in Paris), French book by Jean-Marc Larbodiere.
The International Style comes from the Modern Movement (Bauhaus in Germany, Le Corbusier, and the Esprit Nouveau in France), an extension of Art Nouveau. This book invites the Parisian walker and tourists to recognize the buildings built in Paris by the greatest architects of the 1930s.
After the excitement of the Roaring Twenties, France faced a major economic crisis and political and social uncertainty. Cultural life sees the emergence of mass culture. In architecture, modernism is spreading in society. In 1926, Le Corbusier set out the main points of a new architecture - the International Style. Rationalism and Functionalism are born on an invention that will change everything: reinforced concrete. The latter offers architects immense, hitherto unknown possibilities.
The urban landscape is changing: the windows widen, the roofs become terraces, the elevators appear, along with the courtyards and the gardens, while the dark corridors disappear. "Free" decorations no longer have their place. Light and sobriety are now the hallmarks of a style whose beauty only imposes itself through the harmony of geometric shapes and the happy balance of solids and voids.
Learn the fundamentals of modern architecture, often known as international style, through this work's inception and development. Find the precursors like Henri Sauvage and Auguste Perret, the modern hardliners such as Le Corbusier, Mallet-Stevens, Pingusson, and Fisher, and then the temperate moderns like Roux-Spitz, Ginsberg, Sirvin, and Madeline. Dive into the heart of three major exhibition palaces in Paris: Palais de Chaillot, Palais de Tokyo, and Palais des Colonies.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.

Paris Secret et Insolite (Secret and Unusual Paris), French book by Rodolphe Trouilleux.
Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris!
The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...
