Description
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a pioneering figure in modern architecture. His philosophy centered around the pursuit of underlying truth in pure forms and proportions, as seen in iconic buildings such as the Seagram Building and Farnsworth House. This book presents over 20 of Mies van der Rohe's projects from 1906 to 1967, offering insight into his groundbreaking practice and influence across America and Europe. With approximately 120 illustrations, it provides a comprehensive introduction to his life and work. The Basic Art Series has long been a trusted source for art book enthusiasts, featuring an introduction to the architect, major works in chronological order, information about clients and construction problems, and a list of selected works with location maps.
