Summary:

"Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is widely rearded as one of the most influential architects of the modern movement. But how are Mies' ideas on architecture and the logic of construction expressed in his built -- and also unbuilt -- works? This book examines this question through a study of 14 projects with particular focus on the aspects of space, material and detailing. Three-dimensional drawings, prepared specifically for this book, explain his construction concepts"--Page 4 of cover.
