"Tony Garnier, une cité industrielle", étude pour la construction des villes, ORIGINAL EDITION of 1917 - 1919, former resident of the Académie de France in Rome and architect in Lyon, the only other known copy resides in the Lyon archives library, following a gift from Louis Garnier himself. Volume I features the emblem of Etablissements Phototypiques BAISE & GOUTTAGNY, LYON, on the page following the title page, in 2 volumes, with half-fauve morocco covers with gold-printed title, numbered B 38 on the edge; comprising 164 plates, printed drawings and plans, including very large fold-out plates at various scales (plate 2, an extraordinary archive, represents the general plan of the "Cité Industrielle" measuring 127 cm X 169 cm at 0.00025 P. M. Scale).M.). Volume I contains plates 1 to 82, Volume II plates 83 to 164. For the 2 books, the cover dimensions (34X42 cm) show normal wear and tear if they were published in 1917, with a few traces of pencil. We have not been able to find a written date for these 2 books, and have referred to historical research and information published on the Internet. Une Cité industrielle" was published for the first time in 1917, then in a second edition in 1932 (the 2nd edition is published by C. Massin & Cie, Paris 1932, 43x34cm, sheets in laced folders). Une Cité industrielle is Tony Garnier's seminal work. It is considered the first urban planning manifesto of the twentieth century, reviving the utopias of the nineteenth.We believe these 2 volumes are from 1917.** A little history to understand the historical value of this archive grouped here in 2 volumes. It was during his stay at the Académie de France in Rome that Tony Garnier (1869-1948) devoted himself to his "Cité industrielle" project. He imagined an ideal city with 35,000 inhabitants. The 164 plates present the project for a medium-sized city on a site that resembles Lyon and the surrounding region. Sensitive to the social conditions of his contemporaries, Tony Garnier designed a city born of the needs of workers employed by industry. His city had sanitary facilities, schools and wide streets, and he favored space, light and greenery. But there were no churches, barracks, courts or prisons. Tony Garnier's industrial city was influenced by 19th-century utopias such as the Familistère de Guise. In Lyon, the architect succeeded in building some of the major facilities of his project, such as the Grange-Blanche hospital (today called Édouard-Herriot, Lyon's hospitals, built from 1913 to 1933 on the initiative of President Édouard Herriot, to designs by the famous architect Tony Garnier), the Gerland stadium, now called the Matmut Stadium, designed in the tradition of ancient Olympic stadiums, inspired by Roman stadiums with a large circular gallery set on a planted embankment, the Cité des États-Unis, as well as the Mouche abattoirs, which became the Tony Garnier hall. After some research, we have the feeling that this work is a rare archive: a copy is kept in the archives of ouvrages Rares at the BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale Française), and it is also mentioned by the Archives Municipales de Lyon, where 11 pages from the beginning of the work with the table of projects are published to illustrate the importance of the architect Tony Garnier for Lyon.
