Product Description
Product Description
With a world-wide reputation for his furniture and other designs, Jacobsen is, together with Erik Gunnar Asplund and Alvar Aalto, one of the great figures of Scandinavian architecture. The abstraction which the new materials of his day made possible was to become increasingly evident in his work: spare yet elegant exteriors counterpoint the mannerist logic of his interiors with an insistence which emerges in the very first sketches, for Jacobsen a working process which drew the real, almost literally, from the imaginary. This book is a rediscovery of his work. It contains more than 200 pages full of illustrations in seven typological chapters that order all his architectural and design projects.

Small black & white architectural monograph from Gustavo Gili
17 Oct 2005
ISBN: 8425214041 ONLY has 395 exclusively black & white illustrations, and is a concise paperback survey published by Gustavo Gili (GG) of Barcelona in English and Spanish (side by side). A short introductory part on several pages is followed by the main review part presenting each shortly described project in excellent B&W photos, plans, sections, elevations, hard line presentation drawings, sketches, etc. At the end, there are several pages with additional information incl. biography. Most of hundreds of only B&W illustrations are technical, but all (incl. B&W photos) are of a good quality, well balanced, crisp and legible. Like all from the Works and Projects series, it is solid among architectural monographs, but slightly smaller than the Studio Paperback series published by Birkhäuser Verlag under ISBN: 37643* (Basel)/08176* (Boston) or Artemis Verlag under ISBN: 37608* (Zürich)/18740* (London).
