"Architect Louis Cordonnier was probably the first to use frames made by the firm Braat when he constructed the Peace Palace in The Hague in 1908. The sale of custom-made frames was a lucrative source of revenue during the manufacturer's 139-year existence. But the firm achieved its strongest market position through the production of steel casements in standard dimensions and the application of anti-rust treatments. The company records of Braat are maintained by the NAi Collection. The numerous photos among the records offer a vivid picture of the workers in the factory, the components it produced, and the buildings they were used for. This is the most complete overview of the series of photos made for Braat by photographer Hans Sibbelee (1915-2003)."

They constitute but a fraction of the pool of ideas with a claim on the architectural reorganization of engsia - a collective Russian dream."

"Photography and architecture use each other. Photography encounters architecture specifically as a means of representation and dissemination. The architectural manipulates the photographic for its own ambitions. However, the question is not so much of who does who, but rather how each creates and delineates the other?"

Karel Teige :
Functionalist and then some: the first exhibition in the U.S. of a leading Czech modernist illuminates the intellectual landscape of interwar Prague while adding new dimensions to the histories of design, architectural theory and the international style.
