GALERIE PATRICK SEGUIN <\/strong>is pleased to announce the publication of a new book:
\nJEAN PROUV\u00c9 \u2013 CARNAC DEMOUNTABLE HOUSE, 1946<\/strong>
\nPreface by Catherine Prouv\u00e9<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the summer of 1946, shortly after the end of World War II, Jean and Madeleine Prouv\u00e9 set up an 8×8 Demountable House in Carnac, Brittany, intended both as a holiday home for their large family and as a demonstration model for prefabricated housing.
\nShipped in several parts by train, the pavilion was based on Prouv\u00e9\u2019s axial portal frame system, patented in 1939, combining lightweight metal components with standardized wooden elements assembled on site.
\nFeaturing steel-clad fa\u00e7ade panels and windows, the house became one of the first and most significant postwar examples of Jean Prouv\u00e9\u2019s vision for lightweight, industrialized and adaptable architecture.<\/p>\n

This new publication brings together a wide selection of archival documents and period photographs dedicated to the Carnac Demountable House. Through this volume, the 16th in the series, Galerie Patrick Seguin continues its research and documentation work on Jean Prouv\u00e9\u2019s demountable architecture, its historical significance, and its contemporary relevance.<\/p>\n
