“Focus” – a fine set

16. “Focus”. LUND HUMPHRIES (publ) Focus 1-4 [complete]

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

64pp inc illustrations inc one large fold-out.

Cold War Berlin: Interbau 1957

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.

photos, plans, drawings etc, bibliog. Cloth,

25x19. Good copy in dust wrapper. Owner's

stamp on front end paper. Possibly new end

papers. £175.00

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

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

Scheerbart's ideas on utopian architecture. Rare

and beautiful item.

43. TAUT Bruno Die Stadtkrone mit

Beiträgen von Paul Scheerbart, Erich Baron,

Adolf Behne.

Jena, Eugen Diederichs, 1919. [30847] 143pp, 72

illustrations (drawings, photos, some tipped-in).

Patterned boards. 25x19. Spine label scuffed,

some light staining to top of cover and tiny scuff

generally a good copy of a fragile item. £250.00

A rare Taut item on city design, published the

same year as his “Alpine Architektur”.

Scheerbart posthumously contributes “Das neue

Leben: architektonische Apokalypse” and a

poem, “Der tote Palast”.
