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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn back in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published.
