included in the below refd architectures documentary series is a segment on la maison de verre. realised by the designer pierre chareau and architect bernard bijvoet with special assistance (and this for me is the real treat) engineer/metal worker Louis Dalbet. pay extra special attention to the fabricated metal stair cases, library ladder and various mechanical features. theres very little info on him online or otherwise, but if you study available images of lmdv his contribution should be obvious.
