About the Item

Mies Van Der Rohe: A Critical Biography by Franz Schulze. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1985. Hardcover with Brodart covered dust jacket. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was a German-American architect. He was commonly referred to as Mies, his surname. Along with Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture. He was the last director of the Bauhaus, a ground-breaking school of modern art, design and architecture. After Nazism's rise to power, with its strong opposition to modernism (leading to the closing of the Bauhaus itself), He emigrated to the United States and accepted the position to head the architecture school at the Armour Institute of Technology (later the Illinois Institute of Technology), in Chicago. 354 pages with an index, select bibliography. Contains black & white photos and architectural drawings. Contents: List of buildings and projects; Aachen: youth in imperial Germany, 1886-1905; Berlin: problems of a new century, 1905-1918; Europe out of the ashes: response to the modernist challenge, 1919-1925; Weimar at the flood, 1925-1929; Depression, collectivization, and the crisis of art, 1929-1936; Departure and flight, 1936-1938; Revival: modernism without Utopia, 1938-1949; America: the triumph of steel and glass, 1949-1958; Recessional, 1958-1969.
