Jean Prouve & Pierre Jeanneret: BCC Demountable House

Jean Prouvé and Pierre Jeanneret's BCC Demountable House is part of the series of projects initiated in 1939 that center on the construction principle of the axial portal frame, created by Prouvé in 1938. The several examples of this small wooden building that were produced between 1941 and 1943 (during extreme wartime conditions) emphasize the two men's rare ability to adapt to constrained circumstances.
