These new titles in the Building Blocks series showcase four more icons of modern architecture, as portrayed by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. Two buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater and Taliesin West, Louis Kahn's Salk Institute, and Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building are shown in original condition, with original furnishings, as the architects intended them to be seen. Wright's integration of architecture and landscape, Kahn's dramatic yet humane monumentality, and Mies's austere elegance are revealed and preserved in Stoller's classic compositions. Small, elegant, and affordable, each volume presents the photo-graphs that made these structures famous. With 60 rich duotone plates (and 16 color plates for Taliesin West), a brief introduction, and newly drawn plans, sections, and elevations, these books constitute the essential photographic histories of the most important works of modernism.

A Powerful Little Book,
By Brett W. Oakley (Winter Park, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Seagram Building (Building Block Series) (Hardcover)
In its eighty-eight (88) pages, this book packs more information, more feeling and more depth on Mies van der Rohe's classic building than most books three times it size. The text is clear and concise with photographs that grasp the meaning and context of the Seagram Building. This is a "must have" for anyone who appreciates and admires the truly timeless style of van der Rohe.
