Montage Standard: Wooden Façade Construction Plans

French architect Hector Guimard's technical drawing for a standardized wooden building system demonstrates early 20th-century industrial design principles applied to mass housing. The blueprint details modular construction methods, showing elevation views, cross-sections, and precise measurements for prefabricated timber framing and facade assembly. Guimard, known for his Art Nouveau work, here shifts toward rational, reproducible building techniques—addressing post-war housing shortages through systematic design. The drawing exemplifies how architectural innovation translated modernist aesthetics into practical manufacturing standards, balancing aesthetic coherence with economic efficiency and speed of construction.
