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 Tanıtım Bülteninden
