Denis Archer, London, 1933 | Hardback, 152pp | 16 x 25 cm | First Edition

Strikingly designed early modernist volume exploring the changing language of architecture in the machine age. Duncan - architect, lecturer and Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects - traces the shift from tradition to functionalism, contextualising the work of contemporary designers within broader social and technological change.

The book’s bold typographic layout and silver-and-red binding reflect its forward-looking ethos, while the opening endpaper diagram - “The New Era: Science and Invention / Tradition” - visually maps the evolution of progress from the Industrial Revolution to modern urban life. Printed on pale yellow stock, the text is accompanied by 12 b&w photographic illustrations.

Very good condition: Light edge rubbing and bumping to covers. Pages clean and bright. Binding tight. No inscriptions.
