Synopsis
Some of the most exciting works of 20th-century architecture were born to sail the seas: luxury liners, cruise ships, ferries, and other passenger vessels that represented milestones in modernist style. Through extensive illustrations, including many previously unpublished photographs, this lavish volume examines their evolving design, These beautiful ships-powerful statements of commercial pride and even utopian visions-had a lasting influence on architecture ashore, and their sweeping forms and daring details will intrigue all design-conscious readers.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. A like new hardback copy in a like new dustjacket. No discernible faults to either. 1st edition. 240pp. 11 x 8.75 inches approx. Fully illustrated in colour/b&w. Published by Conway Maritime London 2010. In 'Vers Une Architecture', published in the mid 1920s, Le Corbusier wrote about the inspiring qualities of the external design forms of Cunard's Aquitania. Since then nautical design inspired a great deal of innovative architecture on terra firma. Simultaneously, the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs made a broad range of eclectic modern styles fashionable - particularly in the commercial world, whereas Modernism with a capital M, already the design aesthetic of the pre-Stalinist Soviet Union, was associated with social reform, internationalism and a Marxist ideology. In passenger ship design, however, the picture was complicated by a variety of factors. According to Orwell, ships were seen to represent utopian visions of future paradises - and so represented the ideals of Modernism perhaps more effectively than any structure on dry land ever could. On the other hand they were equally powerful statements of imperialism and of commercial pride. This book examines the development of the Modern Movement in passenger ship architecture in the twentieth century, ranging from small excursion vessels to liners, cruise ships, ferries, and, where necessary, freight vessels.
