NY: Frederick A. Praeger, Inc., 1965. Book. Illus. by Illustrated. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Mies Van der Rohe is one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. The master of the modern steel-and-glass skyscraper, he was a founder of modernism, and head of the German school of design known as Bauhaus. His architectural design and innovation has been widely imitated through the decades, and around the world. The book is elegantly designed, and illustrated with dramatic black-and-white photographs, floor plans, and classic details. There is little text: the photographs and drawings convey the "less is more" message. .
