Summary:

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was an architect who communicated his ideas with the same disciplined restraint as he developed his buildings. This book is a heterogeneous collection of writings, speeches, and interviews. Read together, they reveal the breadth of Mies' deep engagement with architecture and education in Germany and the USA. By including both written and spoken words, the co-editors reveal how Mies was able to extend his influence well beyond the classroom-studio and the profession to reach a general audience eager to learn more about his architectural philosophy during a time of great cultural and societal upheaval.

All of Mies van der Rohe's texts in English for the first time! Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's writings and lectures are relatively modest in quantity compared with the number of his remarkable buildings that have transformed cities throughout the globe. These writings, like his architecture, have continued to generate interest among different generations of students and scholars. This anthology contains all of his writings and lectures, both well known and never republished. Succinct and speculative, these writings concerning architecture and education - mostly translated from German to English - reveal Mies as an architect who constructed his texts with the same disciplined restraint with which he designed buildings.00Translated by Mark Jarzombek et al.
