[BLOC, André]. L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui. MAGAZINE. Paris, (Archipress & Associés), (1930–1957). Large quarto, numerous plates and illustrations. Stapled or spiral-bound, printed covers (some wear, minor scuffing, and missing pages on a few copies, but in good overall condition). Description: An exceptional collection. A set of 139 issues of this magazine, including the first issues from November and December 1930 through 1957 (with a few missing issues). Includes the special issue on Le Corbusier. The early issues are spiral-bound (a feature used in the 1930s to distinguish the magazine from others; this distinctive feature made *L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui* known as “the spiral-bound magazine”). The covers were designed by graphic designer Jacques Nathan (1910–2001). An international journal, now known as “AA’,” covering the disciplines of urban planning, architecture, the arts, and landscape architecture, with thematic issues and special editions.
