Mies van der Rohe ranks alongside Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier as one of the most influential and important architects of our century. He was not only an accomplished and groundbreaking architect but also a first-rate, long-term lecturer and organiser of architectural events. It is thanks to his most important European building projects, the German pavilion for the Barcelona World Fair (1929) and the Villa Tugendhat in Brno that modern architecture was able to emerge from his experimental phase into full maturity. This book documents Mies van der Rohe's oeuvre as furniture designer and architect in the context of his three major European projects in Stuttgart, Barcelona, Brno.

Synopsis:
This volume, published to coincide with the exhibition organized by the Vitra Design Museum, gathers together the material relative to the furniture designed for some of the most important works in the German master's production during the 1920s and 30s: the building for the Weissenhof in Stuttgart, the Barcelona pavilion and the Tugendhat villa in Brno. Research on living space within modern housing and the application of the most advanced technology combine to form an aesthetic that has inspired a great many design projects during the post-World War II period and up to the present-day debate. The 30 objects Mies van de Rohe designed for these interiors between 1926 and 1932 are carefully analyzed in their planning, their execution and in their relationship with the architectural space for which they were intended. The book, featuring essays by Otakar Macel, Werner Blaser, Wolf Tegethoff, Lenka Kudelkova, Karin Schulte and Mateo Kries, is illustrated with original photographs, sketches of the buildings and the objects, and is completed by a detailed catalogue of the design elements.
