This reflection on the spiritual and architectural proximity of the West and East is now back in stock: with a new appendix "Ando and Mies".
This fascinating work looks at the traditional architecture of China and Japan and the structures of Mies van der Rohe, one of the great masters of Modernism, uncovering the extraordinary parallels between them. Richly illustrated with impressive photographs, the book shows how architectonic wisdom and sensitivity can transcend borders, creating an architecture of harmony.
"...this splendid book leaves us with new insights into Mies van der Rohe's enigmatic mind and a deeper understanding of his work" The Architectural Review
"The countless full-page photographs are of such breathtaking power that they leave one gasping for air." The Architectural Review.publiarq.com
