Description
Launched in 1991, award-winning Architecture in Detail books focus on individual seminal buildings, celebrating their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs, and a set of technical drawings and working details. The Farnsworth House is a seminal Modernist glass-and-steel house by Mies van der Rohe, one of the greatest twentieth-century architects.
“Vandenberg’s text, complemented by excellent photographs and drawings, provides the best concise account of the house yet published.”—Architects’ Journal, UK
“A complete a coverage as any Mies fan would want.”—Architecture Today, UK
“Not a glam coffee-table book but instead scholarship in brief… Both a social history and a design primer on Mies… An architect’s architecture book.”—Bay Brown, Architecture US
“Phaidon’s Architecture in Detail series is an exemplary publishing effort, each attractive square-format volume offering thorough sets of drawings, fine photography and brief but intelligent texts.”—Interior Design
“This series from Phaidon is proving to be a visually indulgent, useful addition to the field of architectural publishing.”—The Art Book
“As always, Phaidon’s Architecture in Detail series is a treat with lavish new colour pictures and excellent plans.”—RIBA Journal
“The Architecture in Detail series is without question one of the most beautifully illustrated and well-documented collections of monographs on individual buildings produced anywhere in the world. These beautifully produced books combine historical and contemporary photographs, drawings and texts by sensitive critics.”—AIA Jury
