Mies

New edition

Known for the beauty and purity of his work, German-born architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, built remarkable houses, skyscrapers, museums and campuses. The clarity of his architecture belies the diversity of his interests, which included philosophy and science as well as design.

Accompanied by over 700 drawings, photographs, plans and diagrams, this new edition of the monograph devoted to Mies van der Rohe traces the aesthetic and intellectual context of the architect's entire oeuvre, with in-depth discussions of his most important buildings and projects.

The book includes several of his most iconic buildings, including the Barcelona Pavilion, the Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic, the S. R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, and the new National Gallery in Berlin.
