Mies van der Rohe’s philosophy was one of underlying truth in pure forms and proportions. With the help of contemporary technological and material developments, he sought a stripped-down purity to architecture, showcased by the likes of the Seagram Building and Farnsworth House. Some spoke out against this stark approach as the precursor to bland, generic cityscapes. Others cite Mies van der Rohe as the ultimate master of an abidingly elegant essence. This book presents more than 20 of Mies van der Rohe’s projects from the period 1906–1967 to introduce his groundbreaking practise and influence in both America and Europe.Language: GermanCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 260mmItem Length: 210mmItem Weight: 589gAuthor: Claire ZimmermanContributor: Peter Gössel (Edited by)Genre: Architecture & AntiquesBook Series: Basic ArtItem Width: 16mmRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
