中文简介：

路德维希·密斯·凡德罗（Ludwig Mies van der Rohe，1886-1969

年）以其座右铭“少即是多”而闻名，是现代建筑的奠基人之一，也是备受争议的 20

世纪美学和城市体验的时尚引令页者。密斯·凡德罗的哲学是纯粹形式和比例的基本真理之一。在当代技术和材料发展的帮助下，他寻求建筑的简约纯粹性，西格拉姆大厦和法恩斯沃斯大厦等建筑就展现了这一点。一些人公开反对这种赤裸裸的做法，认为这是平淡、普通城市景观的前兆。其他人则将密斯·凡德罗视为永恒优雅本质的終及大师。本书介绍了密斯·凡德罗

1906 年至 1967 年间的 20 多个项目，介绍了他在美国和欧洲的开创性实践和影响。

英文简介：

Famed for his motto “less is more,” Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was

one of the founding fathers of modern architecture and a hotly-debated

tastemaker of twentieth-century aesthetics and urban experience.Mies van der

Rohe’s philosophy was one of underlying truth in pure forms and proportions.

With the help of contemporary technological and material developments, he

sought a stripped-down purity to architecture, showcased by the likes of the

Seagram Building and Farnsworth House. Some spoke out against this stark

approach as the precursor to bland, generic cityscapes. Others cite Mies van

der Rohe as the ultimate master of an abidingly elegant essence.This book

presents more than 20 of Mies van der Rohe’s projects from the period

1906–1967 to introduce his groundbreaking practise and influence in both

America and Europe.
