Bücher der Form: Wandlung der Form im XX. Jahrhundert: dem Deutschen Werkbund gewidmet
Bücher der Form is a 1926 German picture book by Ernst Kropp, published in Heidelberg and dedicated to the Deutscher Werkbund, showing how form changed across the twentieth century. The pictures are black-and-white photographs and reproduced drawings of buildings, machines, and organic structures, several printed sideways, and a designer might take from them a strong sense of modernist engineering and the rhythm of repeated horizontal and curved forms.
