Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography, New and Revised Edition

<div><i>Mies van der Rohe: A Critical Biography</i> is a major rewriting and expansion of Franz Schulzeâ€™s acclaimed 1985 biography, the first full treatment of the master German-American modern architect. Coauthored with architect Edward Windhorst, this revised edition, three times the length of the original text, features extensive new research and commentary and draws on the best recent work of American and German scholars. The authorsâ€™ major new discoveries include the massive transcript of the early-1950s Farnsworth House court case, which discloses for the first time the facts about Miesâ€™s epic battle with his client Edith Farnsworth. Giving voice to dozens of architects who knew and worked with (and sometimes against) Mies, this comprehensive biography tells the compelling story of how Mies and his students and followers created some of the most significant buildings of the twentieth century.<br /><br />Â <br /><br />Â </div>
