Inhaltsangabe

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.

A LESSON FROM THE OLD MASTER

"The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright’s granddaughter [Elizabeth Wright Ingraham] once worked for Mies and walked up to his desk one day worried. “But Mies, what about self-expression in architecture?” she asked him point-blank. Mies, grandly massive and a slow starter, told her: “Wait, first let me get a cup of coffee. Come back in two hours.” She did, and the elderly master politely asked her to write her name on a slip of paper. There, he said, so much for self-expression. Now let’s design a good building."
