Mies Van Der Rohe The Art of Structure
The architect himself authorized Blaser to document his work, and the original was published in 1964. An expanded edition was published in English and German in 1985 (Verlag fur Archeitektur, Zurich, and Frederick A. Praeger, Inc., New York, respectively). Birkhauser issued an expanded edition in English and German in 1993. The current version contains an expanded appendix, with enhanced biography, bibliography, and catalog of works, and a listing of important books in Mies' library. Also, the author has photographed some of Mies' buildings in their present setting, showing how three decades have aged them little if at all. Abundantly illustrated, elegantly presented. 10x10.5" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
