This detailed and carefully reasoned study of the domestic architecture of Mies van der Rohe is a landmark contribution to contemporary understanding of the great architect's work. It is devoted to a close analysis of Mies' residential architecture, built and unbuilt, from 1923 to 1951. Many of its conclusions are pertinent to the whole of Mies' output. The book presents penetrating discussions of both the Concrete and the Brick Country House projects, two of the famous Five Projects of the 1920s which made Mies' early reputation; and, among others, the Lange and Esters Houses of 1927-1930; the Barcelona Pavilion and Tugendhat House of 1928-1930; and, in America, plans for a house in Wyoming for the Stanley Resors, and the Farnsworth House of 1946-1951. The analysis and the illustrations demonstrate a continuous development toward realization of the goal Mies himself described: "To bring Nature, houses and people into a higher unity." The original German language edition accompanied an exhibition organized by the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, in conjunction with the Mies van der Rohe Archive of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, on the occasion of the public opening of the restored Lange and Esters Houses, now owned by the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum. All of the works exhibited are reproduced in this volume. Dr. Tegethoff's text, based on extensive research in the Mies Archive and other sources, brings to light much new information on the origins of Mies's ideas, his working methods and relationships with clients, as well as the actual planning and structure of the houses. Wolf Tegethoff is a member of the faculty of the Kunsthistorische Institut of the University of Kiel, Germany.

Das Haus Tugendhat in Brünn (Tschechische Republik), von Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1928-1930 geplant und gebaut, gilt unbestritten als einer der wichtigsten Bauten der europäischen Moderne. 2001 erklärte die UNESCO das Haus zum Welterbe der Kultur. In dieser dritten, aktualisierten Auflage beschreiben die Autoren private, historische, architekturtheoretische, kunsthistorische und konservierungswissenschaftliche Aspekte des Hauses. Die umfangreiche Beschreibung der Materialität bzw. die eingehende Diskussion dieses Aspekts ist eine Besonderheit in der Forschungslandschaft. Ein besonderer Reiz dieser Monografie liegt in der Veröffentlichung von Fotos aus dem Familienbesitz, die das Haus erstmals in bewohntem Zustand zeigen. Die experimentellen künstlerischen Farbfotografien von Fritz Tugendhat gehören zu den Pionierleistungen privat ausgeübter Fototechnik.

Built and designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1928-1930, the Tugendhat House in Brno / Czech Republic is one of the most significant buildings of European modernism. In 2001, UNESCO added the house to the List of World Cultural Heritage Sites. In this third, updated edition, the authors give personal and historic insights relating to the house; also documenting aspects pertaining to art history and conservation-science studies. The comprehensive description and in-depth discussion of the materials used is a special feature in this field of research. The appeal of this monograph lies in the publication of photographs from the family archive which, for the first time, show the house in its lived-in condition. The experimental artistic color photographs by Fritz Tugendhat are among the pioneering achievements of amateur photography.
