Jean Prouvé |
Olá,
This morning while reading the December 2013 issue of Elle Decor, I came across the an article that caught my attention about the mid-century architect and designer, Jean Prouvé .
Dismantable House, Jean Prouvé |
In 1944, he won a commission to design temporary housing for those displaced by World War II. The wood and metal parts that made up the structures could be sent to locations in need and assembled by three people in one day.
Tropical House by Jean Prouvé |
The project did not get past the planning stage and Prouvé used the same designs to fashion prototypes for more permanent homes.
Since I have become interested in modular building, I thought it was a current concept. But as I become more and more immersed in modular building, I am learning that this concept has been around for a very long time!!!
