#Repost @jeanprouvearchitecture ă»ă»ă» âA building has to be made of the smallest possible number of elementsâ, Jean ProuvĂ©. ProuvĂ© developed a âconstructional philosophyâ based on functionality and rational fabrication. Free of all artifice, the resultant aesthetic chimed with the doctrine of the Union of Modern Artists, of which ProuvĂ© â with Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand â was a founder member. He first devised rapid construction systems that he had patented in 1939: one with an external frame, the other with an axial portal system for those who had lost their homes in the War. The simplicity of the construction process and the efficiency of its assembly, carried out by few men with a minimum of equipment, were characteristics of his philosophy. #jeanprouvĂ© #prouvĂ© #prouve #architecture #demountablehouse #house #quote #galeriepatrickseguin (Ă Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5QutptQwA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
