Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : fine. First Edition. Large quarto, 103pp., followed by 281 full-leaf plates. A crisp, clean, lovely copy, about fine, with the rear inner hinge just starting and two tiny and inexplicable tape mends to a rear blank. Touch of foxing to the edges. In the publisher's notoriously fragile burlap binding, with absolutely no repairs. In the rare dust jacket, about fine, with a few mild scrunches to the crown, but no notable tears or chips. In what appears to be the publisher's original box, with hand-written title. Box with a number of partial cracks and some tape mends, but still rather sound, and complete. A very important volume of architectural history, as this 1922 competition drew contestants from some of the most innovative firms in the field, all of whom were working just after the widespread use of steel frame technology, which allowed for the safe construction of buildings more than a few storeys tall. Among the entrants were Eliel Saarinen (whose design was perceived by many to be the best), Walter Gropius, Adolf Loos, Bertram Goodhue, and many others. The winning entry, conceived by Howells and Hood, still stands today; an imposing neo-Gothic skyscraper at 435 N. Michigan Avenue. When the book is found in commerce, it is almost always rebacked, as the fragile burlap binding was absolutely no match for the heft of the coated paper used for the nearly 300 plates. Similarly, burlap bindings have a tendency to destroy dust jackets, which is why we've only even encountered one other copy in a jacket. As this copy was hardly ever taken out of its box, it has been spared the seemingly inevitable fate of its brethren. An important volume of modern Architectural history, genuinely rare in this condition.

103 Textseiten plus 281 Abbildungstafeln auf Kunstdruckpapier, Fadenheftung, Format 20 x 32,5 cm, Original-Leinenband. * Enthält alle Entwürfe der 263 Architekten aus aller Welt, vorneweg die drei ersten Preisträger, danach die anderen US-Teilnehmer, alle folgenden alphabetisch nach Ländern geordnet. Die Abbildungen überwiegend als perspektivische Zeichnungen in schwarz-weiß, einseitig bedruckt auf Kunstdruckpapier. Gewinner waren John Mead Howells und Raymond M. Hood. Die deutschen Teilnehmer waren: Adolf Loos, Walter Gropius u. Adolf Meyer, Hentze & Richter, Stahler & Horn, Emile Pohl u. Adolph Ott, Brandt Brothers (Berlin), Rudolph Eckmann, Lossow & Kuhne, Ernst Kopp, Carl-Hermann Rudloff, Friedrich Stuhmke, Heinrich Geiling, Carl Mussbeck, Robert Stern, Fritz Schroder, Wilhelm Heigel, Karl Barth, F. Hammerstein u. J. Haarmann, Alex Baerwold, Klum & Beitter, E. P. Grossmann, Clemens Holzmeister, Ewald Kruger, Thilo Schroder, W. Funke, Walter Fischer, Heribert Freiherr von Luttwitz, Peter Birkenholz, Karl Sieben u. W. Dyck, Fritz Sackermann, Max Ronneburger, Alb. H. W. Kruger u. Hermann Zess, Gerhard Schroeder, Max Taut, Martin Standke, Bruno Taut u. Walter Gunther u. Kurz Schutz, Heinrich Mossdorf u. Hans Hahn u. Bruno Busch, Ludwig Koloch, Meischke & Schmidt. Die Ordnung nach den Ländern ermöglicht interessante Vergleiche. Eigenartig z.B. die Entwürfe aus Italien, völlig überladen, bombastisch und verschnörkelt aber ohne eine klare Linie. Originell auch die Entwürfe der Karikaturisten und Zeichner aus dem eigenen Haus des Zeitungs-Verlags: Die Türme als stehende Comic-Figuren. Eine ähnliche Idee von den deutschen Architekten Mossdorf-Hahn-Busch: die oberen Turm-Stockwerke in Form eines Idianers, der einen Tomahawk hochreckt. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Erhaltung: Die Titelei incl. der Titel-Vorblätter mit dezenten Braunflecken, aber wirklich nur dezent. Auf den Titelvorblättern außerdem 2 Stempel des Architekten Fritz Falke, überflüssigerweise auch ein Stempel auf dem vordern Deckel (wegen des grob strukturierten Leinens nicht wirklich lesbar). Im Buchblock gibt es auf einigen wenigen Blättern ganz geringe Flecken, vielleicht wurde hier irgendetwas gepresst (das Papier ist an diesen Stellen glatt). Auch diese Gebrauchsspuren nur dezent. Insgesamt gut erhalten. BITTE BEACHTEN: Gewicht mit Verpackung rund 3,5 Kilo. Geht im Inland nicht als Büchersendung, sondern nur als Paket mit dem entsprechenden Porto. Das vom ABEBOOKS/ZVAB-Computer ausgeworfene Einheitsporto für Büchersendungen ist nicht zutreffend. Sprache: Englisch.

Burlap. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. A genuinely scarce item in 20th century architecture -- a true collector's copy of the 1923 1st edition, with its crisp, superb dustjacket AND the publisher's fragile red cardboard box which houses the thick folio. Tight and Near Fine in its light-brown burlap, with one small former owner bookplate ("Paul H. Humphreys") at the front pastedown. And in a bright --even sparkling-- dustjacket. On the outside of the dustjacket, no flaws to be detected. On the inside of the dustjacket, harmlessly and inconspicuously, even offsetting throughout. The card box has held up nicely as well, with mild fading at the spines and light wear along the edges. (From the dustjacket's rear panel: "The two hundred and sixty designs in this volume constitute an encyclopedia of skyscraper architecture -- THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND. In it are presented the genius, the experience, the ingenuity of the architects of twenty-two nations. The influence of THE TRIBUNE TOWER COMPETITION will be felt for many years. This volume --the first handbook of modern architectural achievement-- is its compendium.").
