Description

It has spawned a recent rash of imitators, but many critics believe it to be the best. Now available in paperback, it's also the most affordable. "The text is filled with crisp, beautiful black-and-white photographs of interiors and exteriors as well as images of models and architectural drawings. The photographs are especially striking, as they were taken at or near the time of each structure's completion, documenting its clean, striking presence. This is the most complete title available on this architect." - "Library Journal". "Historian Roman's book fills a major void, for examination of this legacy has been strikingly meager. He provides a thoughtful, and engaging introduction...He offers many insights on the architect's ideas and methods. An elegant assortment of period photographs accompanies the text. This accomplished publication should have widespread appeal for all persons interested in modern architecture. Highly Recommended." - "Choice".
