Mies Van Der Rohe: The Art of Structure

Mies van der Rohe: The Art of Structure by Werner Blaser. An important study of a great architect, this book examines the deceptively simple, yet superbly elegant art of Mies van der Rohe. Over 150 illustrations - photographs, plans, sketches - document the text written by architect Werner Blaser. Long acquainted with Mies, Mr. Blaser discusses each building with professional insight and analyzes the theories of structure that have so profoundly influenced contemporary architecture.
