Great Reference Books,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twentieth Century Museums I (Architecture 3s) Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe, Louis I. Kahn, Richard Meier (v. 1) (Hardcover)
I purchased the entire Architecture-3s series through Amazon, as used books, at hugely discounted prices. The books are a well-balanced blend of text, photos, and drawings on each specific building; a great addition to my library, at a very reasonable price.
