Description
Offered here is an original Divisare slipcase containing five early-series architecture booklets from the highly regarded Divisare Books program. This A5-size group brings together Marcello Mariana’s sought-after “Greenhouse” volume for ACT_Romegialli, Cemal Emden’s study of the Karatepe Open Air Museum (still sealed), Jeroen Verrecht’s Van Wassenhove House for Juliaan Lampens, Carlos Fernández Pinar’s Warehouse 17C for Arturo Franco, and Lacroix Chessex’s Chalet Noisettes photographed by Joël Tettamanti.
All five books were printed in very small editions (mostly 100-200 copies), sold only through the Divisare online shop, and are now out of print. The original plain Divisare slipcase was part of their “create your own box set” offer and has been filled here with a particularly strong mix of modern architecture and landscape projects. For collectors of architectural photography and contemporary European architecture, this is an attractive one-shot way to acquire several scarce issues at once.
