Mies van der rohe, basic art series
Mies van der Rohe: 1886-1969: the Structure of Space
Less really can be more. This Taschen volume on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe distills the vision of one of modern architecture’s defining figures into an elegant, enduring introduction.
Inside, over 20 of Mies’s most influential projects are presented with Taschen’s trademark care: sharp editing, thoughtful texts, and beautiful print work on quality paper that feels as good in the hand as it looks on the shelf. Richly illustrated with photographs, sketches, and plans, it makes complex ideas about space, form, and proportion accessible without ever dating, proof that good design, like good writing, doesn’t age. Important works like the Seagram Building on Park Avenue, New York, and the Farnsworth House in Illinois, USA, along with the Barcelona pavilion are shown in
A mindful purchase for yourself or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves design, architecture, or simply a well-made book. If a real Barcelona chair with the ottoman is a little out of budget, this book is the next best thing!
Taschen’s Basic Art series offers accessible, always beautifully illustrated introductions to key artists, movements, and architects, combining concise texts with rich visuals, perfect art history summaries.
