Housing the Airship

Housing the Airship is a 1989 book by the Alliance College of London (AA), presenting an overview of the location and construction process of the European Naval Dockyard and given to John Heard, Dean of the Cooper Union School of Architecture, New York, before the death of former AA President Alvin Boyarsky, 1928-1990 John Hejduk (1929-2000) was the last relic of the book tradition that the two had given each other for many years. Roughly half a century after the ships went down in the late 1930s, the book leads readers to revisit the history of the ship fleet and describe in detail the extremely creative spaces and structures built to fulfill the enormous functions of aircraft docking, takeoff, landing, and more.
