Mies at Home is a radical rereading of one of the most significant
periods in Mies van der Rohe's career, from the mid- to late 1920s
when he was developing his seminal spatial ideas- ideas that would
culminate in his celebrated design of the Tugendhat House. The book
examines how Mies's experience of residing in his apartment,
doubling as a studio, in central Berlin had an impact on his
spatial concepts. It uncovers one of the most profound but
virtually untold aspects of Mies's development: how his visions of
an ideal lifestyle came out of his own living experience and how
they, in turn, informed his domestic architecture. Mies's quest
featured two breakthroughs. In the Weissenhof apartment building,
he conveyed a flexible and manifold lifestyle that many of the
avant-garde artists, including himself, were practicing. Later, in
the Tugendhat House, he put forward an alternative way of living
that centered on contemplation. Beautifully illustrated throughout,
Mies at Home offers a fresh investigation of the diverse intentions
and strategies the architect used in creating his iconic open
spaces. It will be an insightful read for researchers, academics,
and students in architectural history and theory.
