112pp. illustrated with b/w plates and line ills. 4to. Good with worn dust wrapper protected in glassine. One inch piece of dust-jacket missing from front top edge and some closed tears on upper wrapper. From Jose and Michael Manser's collection with their bookplate on front end paper. Team 10's theoretical framework was disseminated through teaching and publications, had a profound influence on the development of architectural thought. Initially established initially in 1953 at a CIAM meeting, its key participants included the Smithson's, Jacob Bakema, Aldo van Eyck, George Candilis and Giancarlo de Carlo. The book is a good overview of the philosophies of the group members. The group split and lead to the Smithson's leading the New Brutalists in the UK. Dutch members formed their own Structuralist group. In this copy loosely inserted is a review ticket from Studio Vista and a copy of the review... which is anonymous but highly critical of the book which makes a fascinating read.
