"Gustave Eiffel may get all the glory when it comes to the use of cast iron in 19th-century Parisian architecture, but Henri Labrouste (1801\u20131875) also stretched the material's potential in new and magical ways. His reading rooms for the Bibliothe\u0300que Nationale (shown) and the Bibliothe\u0300que Sainte-Genevie\u0300ve are structural extravaganzas\u2014daylit chambers where slender metal columns rise up to support breathtakingly buoyant vaults. This spring New York's Museum of Modern Art will mount the first U.S. exhibition devoted to the innovative Frenchman. \"Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Light\" will examine his work through photographs, drawings, models, and video interviews with present-day talents who are heirs to his romantic rationalism.
