HENRI SAUVAGE 1873-1932
Brussel: Editions Des Archives d'Architecture Mod, 1978
Octavo. 257 pp; numerous illustrations throughout, mostly b/w. Text in English. VG, mild toning to top margin. This book, originally published in French in 1976, provides answers to certain questions posed by this architect, thought to be complex and ambiguous. Didn't Sauvage accomplish with astonishing ease the difficult transition from one epoque to another, both essentially different - unlike his contemporaries Horta and Guimard? A proponent of Art Nouveau in 1900, he designed a completely different type of subsidized housing a few years later, which anticipated Le Corbusier's Cite Radieuse; after WWII, he became interested in the prefabrication of buildings and ended his career with a masterpiece of rational architecture.
