Chermayeff, Serge and Richard A. Plunz. Design and the Public Good: Selected Writings 1930-1980, by Serge Chermayeff.
London: The MIT Press, 1983. 0262160889 / 9780262160889 First edition Hardcover In Dust Jacket
Spanning a fifty-year period, these writings exhibit much of the variety of from and scale found in Serge Chermayeff's designs, which range from the city plans or the total environment to the individual house, from a seashore park to a an item of a furniture. The forty essays, articles, and lectures are grouped under three general headings: Pathology of Environment, The Professional Condition; and Education for Design. Many of Chermayeff's concerns are addressed here; for example his fear that modernism was deteriorating into just another 'style' rather than serving as a means for resolving social and enviromental conflicts. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings, scetches and photographs. 414.p. in total. Fine in slightly faded DJ, few underlines in ink in the book.
Price:
30.00 GBP
