MIES VAN DER ROHE

This Web site is a project by Hermann Kuehn, subject librarian of the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg. The architects work is presented by subject, and contains a comprehensive and well organized list of links to Web sites, definitions and literary sources. While primarily written in German, the occasional English text will help you along and the site primarily consists of links. 

This is an 800-pages scholarly tome that focuses on the years after Mies' 1938 immigration to the United States. The book features 141 color and 499 b&w. images. Nine essays are accompanied by previously unstudied material-drawings and collages, photographs, project documents, and oral histories and aim to show Mies' development as an artist in its cultural context. 

 A great introduction for architecture enthusiasts or college students to the work and impact of these three men.

A reprint of the 1974 publication that discusses, among other things, the Seagram Building in New York City and the Lake Shore Drive Apartments.

This book is devoted to the 26-story high risers at 860 Lake Shore Drive, located  beside Lake Michigan. Mies van der Rohe built the apartment towers in 1948-50.
