[485]. As has been noted, Oud, at the invitation of Gropius, wrote Holländische Architektur (No. 10 in the series of Bauhausbücher) and also published many articles in Dutch, German, English, and French magazines.

[487]. Le Corbusier’s moulded pilotis supporting the Swiss Hostel in Paris (Plate [165B]) are two years later; those under the Unité d’Habitation, which resemble Aalto’s much more closely, were designed after the Second World War.
[488]. A hospital built in 1926-8 by Adolf Schneck and Richard Döcker (b. 1894) in Stuttgart is actually earlier but hardly comparable in quality.
[489]. For Howe’s earlier ‘traditional’ work see Monograph of the Work of Mellor, Meigs and Howe, New York, 1923; for an assessment of his later career, see also Zevi, B., ‘George Howe’, Journal of the American Institute of Architects, XXIV (1955), 176-9. For the PFSF see Jordy, W., and Stern, R., Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, XXII (1962), entire June issue.
[490]. The same description applies roughly to Aalto’s work down to the buildings mentioned above, it may be noted.

[492]. Technically the architects were J. Alan Slater and Arthur Hamilton Moberly (1885-1952) with Crabtree as designing associate. Professor Sir Charles Herbert Reilly (1874-1948), head of the School of Architecture at Liverpool, which he made one of the most advanced schools in the world in these years, was consultant. It is curious to recall that he had earlier been a consultant on Devonshire House in Piccadilly in London, built in 1924-6 by Carrère & Hastings (John M., 1858-1911; and Thomas, 1860-1929), when the influence of American ‘traditional’ architecture was strong in London (see Chapter [24]).
