Considers the ideas and creations of German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969). "This book sets out to show how, in his buildings, Mies van der Rohe has made a clearly recognized structure the basis of his construction and thus raised it to the level of an art. This elevation of structure to the level of an art will be illustrated by examples ranging from the simple pattern of a brick wall to the transparent construction of a wall of steel and glass."
