This book embodies a unique document of his philosophy of architecture, his way of working, and his rigorous teaching methodology. Mies van der Rohe at Work is a new reprint of a classic title first published in 1974, featuring enhanced reproductions of original photography and a new foreword by Phyllis Lambert, Founding Director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Peter Carter, who studied and later worked with Mies, began the book while an associate in Mies van der Rohe's firm. Mies' structural and spatial concepts are analyzed through three building types: the skeleton-frame building, both in its high- and low-rise manifestations, and the clear-span building. 28 of his most important projects are examined in depth within the context of urban space. Mies also made a significant contribution to architectural education, first as Director of the Bauhaus between 1930 and 1933, and later in the USA at the Illinois Institute of Technology. This book devotes an entire section to the architect as an educator, illustrated with examples drawn from Mies' students at IIT. The final section traces his life from his early years as the son of a stonemason to his eventual emergence as the twentieth century's master architect of steel and glass, through a collection of statements by Mies","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":48859111424281,"sku":"NA1088.M65.C37 1999","price":12.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48859111522585,"sku":"NA1088.M65.C37 1999","price":11.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":48859111588121,"sku":"NA1088.M65.C37 1999","price":10.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":48859111653657,"sku":"NA1088.M65.C37 1999","price":9.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/326864.jpg?v=1717666040","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/mies-van-der-rohe-at-work","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
