Sharp and Rendel (both are architects in London who are part of DOCOMOMO UK) have produced an impressive history of the projects of a firm that was devoted to the ideas of Corbusier, and exceedingly active during the decade it operated. The volume, which is oversized (9.75x11.75"), surveys their projects, with multiple historic interior and exterior views, ground plans, and elevations supplementing the detailed discussion of each. A concluding chapter provides biographies of the firm's three founders and discussion of their later projects. Distributed in North America by Publishers Group West.
