About this Item

Scarce catalogue in the form of 54 placards in slipcase, 52 with blueprints detailing apartment blueprints all fit to the same scale, modeled after the book Building Footprints by Eduardo Sacriste, Jr. The designs include both famous and lesser known architects, some notables including Le Corbusier, James Stirling, Mies Van Der Rohe. This copy is inscribed by Roger Sherwood, who was a professor at the University and also contributed the introduction. All contents are present. All of the placards have a small bump to the bottom right corner, and in some cases a larger bump. The images and text are not really effected since they are centered and on the left side. The introduction card which contains the inscription is bumped also along right side towards the upper middle, but none of the other cards have this wear. The contents are otherwise clean and unmarked besides the inscription in red pen, which is personalized and dated. The box itself shows some heavy wear but is nonetheless intact and the integrity of it is not comprimised. There is some visible rubbing and scuffing as well as a heavily bumped bottom corner which aligns with the bumps to the interior materials. There is a piece of tape from previous owner repairing an upper corner. Despite the bumps and wear to the case and the cards, this is a lovely item and quite uncommon. Edition size is unstated but presumed to be rather small and not necassarily for mass commercial use. Seller Inventory # ABE-1708704354668
