“Poisson Soluble”:
Architecture, Advertising, and the Maison de la Publicite

Je tiens Paris comme — pour vous devioler l’avenir — votre main ouverte.
Andre Breton, “Poisson Soluble”

All the accessories which on a typical city street are usually tacked onto the building–such as signs, advertising, clocks, loudspeakers, and even elevators–have been incorporated into a unified whole. This is the aesthetic of constructivism.
                             El Lissitzky, on the Vesnin Pravda project of 1923

Max Bense, “Urbanism and Semiotics, ” 1971
