Mies is the most readable, beautiful and comprehensive book ever published on one of the twentieth century's most influential architects. Known for the beauty and purity of his work, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe built remarkable houses, skyscrapers, museums and multi-building campuses. The clarity of this architecture belies the diversity of Mies's interests, which included philosophy and science as well as design, and Detlef Mertin's rigorous and accessible text gives the reader both a clear description of all of the most important buildings as well as the intellectual contexts for their design. The book will illustrate all of Mies's work with over 700 images, and will be a highly desirable object; the large format and generous extent allows for the reproduction of all the photographs, drawings and details essential to understand Mies's work.

密斯·凡·德罗，德国人，是二十世纪中期世界上最**的四位现代建筑大师之一，与赖特，勒?柯布西耶，格罗皮乌斯齐名。密斯坚持“少就是多”的建筑设计哲学，在处理手法上主张流动空间的新概念。

根据年代顺序，这本书的五个章节和它的总结对密斯的事业和受欢迎度做了虚拟的描绘，这本书的跨度很大，横跨六十年、两大陆和两次世界大战。但这本书讲述了一个连贯的故事，大部分章节侧重于他的重大成就（西格拉姆大厦或伊利诺伊理工学院 ），用很多图片和绘画更深层次的体现密斯的作品。其他一些章节则侧重于密斯生平的重要事件（例如密斯作为包豪斯的代表）。

Detlef Mertins (1954-2011) made lasting contributions to the theory and history of modernism in architecture, art, philosophy, and urbanism. From 2002 to 2007, he was Professor of Architecture and Chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He also taught at the University of Toronto and, as a visiting professor, at Columbia University, Harvard University, Princeton University and Rice University. Among his many published books are Modernity Unbound (2011); G: An Avant-Garde Journal of Art, Architecture, Design, and Film, 1923-1926 (2010), co-edited with Michael Jennings; The Presence of Mies (1994) and Metropolitan Mutations: The Architecture of Emerging Public Spaces (1989). Mertins also published numerous essays in scholarly journals and anthologies, as well as critical writings on contemporary architecture.
