L'architecture
L'architecture is a 1922 Paris survey of architecture by H.-M. Magne, published by F. Rieder et cie and held by the Getty Research Institute, apparently aimed at students and general readers of building design. The four pictures are rotated photographs of French buildings: a country house, a mansion front on boulevard Richard-Wallace at Neuilly, an iron-and-glass gallery with ornamental ironwork, and a hall of stone columns and beams. A designer could take the strong vertical rhythm of arched windows, the lacy cast-iron balustrades and the repeated columns as structural patterns.
