A remarkable book about the wonderful "Maison de Verre", which Pierre Chareau built in the center of Paris. This volume attempts to give an overall picture of this major work with photographs by Yukio Futagawa. "The remarkable Maison de Verre was inserted into an existing building and is one of the unique buildings of the twentieth century... The dissolving of views through semi-transparent materials, the juxtaposing of metal and glass, 'free' space and solid add a dynamic dimension to this house which almost takes it into the realms of Surrealism." Built in the center of Paris, La Maison de Verre is neither a work which can be overlooked for it avantgarde qualities, nor as a landmark in the history of Modern Architecture.
