In 1945-50 Mies van der Rohe built the weekend house "Farnsworth House" in Plano, Illinois. Situated on the banks of a river, this house is constructed out of steel and glass and captivates with its clear proportions and reduction of the structure to its essence. The surrounding landscape provides a direct context. Werner Blaser who worked together with Mies van der Rohe, presents a vivid picture of this house, enlivened by his personal knowledge. Together with comments on the architecture and technology, the book is complemented by the author's personal experiences of working with Mies van der Rohe and impressions from Peter Palumbo, a former inhabitant of Farnsworth House.

In this book Werner Blaser presents the most important buildings and projects that Richard Meier has produced and designed in recent years. All the buildings and projects are presented from the same aspects: situation, program, circulation, structure, texture, layers. This permits an effective comparison of the various buildings, and brings out their aesthetic individuality and the guiding principles behind their construction. By highlighting key details, the monograph demonstrates the allegiance of Meier's latest works to the ideal of classical art, combining the simple with the noble into a contemporary harmonious whole. --- From the Publisher
