In 1956, TIME magazine called him one of the defining "form-givers
of the 20th century." Today, Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) remains a
locus classicus of modernism for architects and designers alike. As
a Bauhaus pioneer, even his earliest work was marked by a material
restraint; the balance of texture, color, and shape; and a
symbiosis of local and global, big and small, rough and smooth. In
this essential introductory monograph, we survey Breuer's complete
career through some of his most influential projects and ideas,
from his landmark tubular furniture to the MoMA Research House to
his innovation of "binuclear" housing, splitting living and
sleeping areas into separate wings. Along the way, we follow
Hungarian-born Breuer's journey to international acclaim, with
featured projects from Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and
across the United States contributing to his global status as a
modernist maestro. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic
Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection
ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series
features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the
major works in chronological order information about the clients,
architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and
resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating
the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately
120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)
