Synopsis
Mies van der Rohe, the inventor of the steel and glass skyscraper whose image has shaped the modern world is generally regarded as the most important architect of the 20th century. However opinions regarding the moral and aesthetic implications of his architectural vision which now straddles the globe are less than unanimous. By examining the nature of his relationship with the Nazis, this book offers an insight not only into the relationship between art and politics at a particularly important moment in history but also into the moral and aesthetic assumptions underlying today's modern landscape.
