Mies van der Rohe erbaute 1945–50 das Wochenendhaus "Farnsworth House” in Plano, Illinois. Das Glas- und Stahlhaus liegt an einem Fluß in natürlicher Umgebung und besticht durch seine klaren Proportionen und die Reduktion auf das Nötige. Es nimmt unmittelbaren Bezug zu der umliegenden Landschaft. Werner Blaser, Mitarbeiter Mies van der Rohes, liefert eine sorgfältige, von persönlichen Erfahrungen geprägte Beschreibung dieses Hauses. Neben Erläuterungen zu Architektur und Technik werden persönliche Erlebnisse mit Mies van der Rohe und Eindrücke Peter Palumbos, ehemaliger Bewohner des "Farnsworth House”, eingebracht. Teilweise unpublizierte Fotos, welche über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Jahrzehnten hinweg von Blaser aufgenommen wurden, vermitteln einen umfassenden Eindruck von diesem Gebäude.

Black and white photos work very well,
This review is from: Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth House: Weekend House/Wochenendhaus (Mies Van Der Rohe Archive) (German and English Edition) (Hardcover)
I love the Fansworth House but I've not been there yet. The book shows us full of images of the masterpiece and takes us into the house imaginarily. Black and white photos work very much and some Mies's drawings are also helpful to understand how the house was beyond the notions. It is still quite new and less is more, of course.
