Mies Van Der Rohe at Work by Peter Carter

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) is recognised as a leading figure in 20th-century architecture, creator of some of the world's most iconic buildings, including the Berlin National Gallery and the Farnsworth House.

Mies Van Der Rohe at Work is a unique document of the architect's philosophy of architecture, his way of working and his rigorous teaching methodology.

This book is a new paperback reprint of a title first published in 1974; it provides an in-depth examination, through statistics, photographs, and detailed drawings, of the most illustrious buildings of the architect's career. Also traces his life from his early years as the son of a stonemason to his emergence as the 20th-century master architect of steel and glass.
