AZEMA Documents d'architecture contemporaine (vols 1 & 2) Paris, Vincent, 1927.2 small folio volumes, 52 (of 54) and 53 (of 54) free plates printed in heliotype. Publisher's wallets The author has chosen to present a few major recent works. He places his work in the context of a forward-looking analysis of globalization: at a time when the use of materials is becoming universal, as are real estate programs, it is important to examine the reasons behind architectural choices, before passing judgment on a project. The book details the Grand Théâtre de Marseille, the Hôtel Majestic in Cannes, the Casamene building in Nice (5 plates), the 100 Bd Pereire building in Paris by Hennequet, the Hôtel Particulier built by Pol Abraham on Rue Jasmin, the Henri Sauvage building on Rue des Amiraux and many other French and American buildings.
