Description
Designer Year
With his exploration of technical thinking and the objects that
arose from this pursuit, Jean Prouvé is one of the major figures in
architecture and design of the 20th century.
The publication is devoted to his technical and planning-oriented
thinking. From the start – first as an ironmonger, then as an
industrialist in the heyday of the ateliers in Maxéville, later with
CIMT and as an engineering consultant – Jean Prouvé dedicatedly pursued
the project of construction “by industry” ‑ as he himself then put it
in the title of his book Une architecture par l’industrie (Architecture by Industry).
The volume provides an overview of his technical ideas and
concepts, his tools and the production structures he employed, his
collaborative work with architects and engineers as well as
characteristic projects of his: furniture, buildings and construction
systems. Prouvé’s world is not only explored here by the forty-two
authors of this volume but is also represented in Prouvé’s own texts
and drawings for his lectures at CNAM, the Conservatoire national des
arts et métiers.
