Using modern technology and the latest materials, he designed buildings of purist simplicity, such as the Seagram Building or Farnsworth House. His critics argued that this extreme approach would produce monotonous and barely distinguishable cityscapes, while others saw him as the master of an elegant essence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume presents over 20 of Mies van der Rohe's projects from the period between 1906 and 1967, highlighting his groundbreaking ideas and his influence in America and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe author\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClaire Zimmerman writes about modern architecture and contemporary culture.
