The comprehensive story of an icon of modern architecture: the Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Mies van der Rohe One of the most famous residences in modern history, a glass and steel marvel that seems to float above its site, the Edith Farnsworth House had been legendary in the public imagination long before it could be widely accessed. This book charts the house's original design by Mies van der Rohe and periods of neglect, flooding, and new ownership by Lord Peter Palumbo. Now publicly accessible and celebrating twenty years of being owned and administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this icon of modern architecture commissioned by client and patron Edith Farnsworth now gets its due. The Edith Farnsworth House is one of the most prized residences in modern architectural history, whose sometimes fraught history culminates in its publicly accessible life today. The book, which newly foregrounds the key role of client Edith Farnsworth, is written and edited by Michelangelo Sabatino, who contributes deep expertise on modernist architecture, and includes an essay by architectural historian Dietrich Neumann, excerpts of Edith Farnsworth's unpublished memoir, as well as interviews with Mies's grandson Dirk Lohan, and the house's second owner, Lord Peter Palumbo. Published in association with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this book is published is a trove of cultural and visual history, and includes photographs by Hedrich Blessing, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Annie Leibovitz, in addition to documentation of cultural collaborations with artists, designers, and performance troupes such as Virgil Abloh, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, and Gerard & Kelly.|The comprehensive story of an icon of modern architecture: the Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Mies van der Rohe|Michelangelo Sabatino is an architectural historian, curator, and preservationist.

Die Berliner Fotokünstlerin Arina Dähnick auf den Spuren Ludwig Mies van der RohesStadterleben und Urbanität, die Gegensätze von Drinnen und Draußen, von Unschärfe und Fokus, Reflexionen und Spiegelungen, das Spiel mit der Wahrnehmung des Betrachters - dies sind die Bildthemen der Berliner Fotokünstlerin Arina Dähnick.Die Architektur Ludwig Mies van der Rohes entdeckte sie im Herbst 2012 für sich, als sie nach einem Gewitter die Neue Nationalgalerie in einem ebenso faszinierenden wie paradoxen Raumerlebnis von grenzenloser Weite bei einem gleichzeitigen Gefühl des Gehaltenseins wahrnahm. Von da ab fotografierte sie das Gebäude bis zu seiner Schließung 2015 unter verschiedenen Bedingungen und folgte den Spuren Mies van der Rohes von Berlin bis Brünn, von Chicago bis New York. Sie erfasste seine berühmtesten Gebäude - darunter die Villa Tugendhat, des Seagram Building und Lake Shore Drive Apartments - in eindrucksvollen Fotoserien, die dem Betrachter ihre kreative Inspiration ebenso wie das das faszinierende architektonische Raumerleben vermitteln."Architectural Portraits: The MIES Project" wird 2019 während der Architecture Biennale Chicago parallel in der Crown Hall und im Goethe Institut gezeigt werden, und dann nach Barcelona, Brno, und Berlin wandern.

Today, Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905-73) is known chiefly for his furniture designs. Based on years of research and drawing on rich archival material as well as on Mollino's own writings, this new book is the overdue tribute to an extraordinary personality in 20th-century architecture.

Pride in Modesty argues that ordinary, often anonymous, everyday things inspired and transformed Italian art and architecture from the 1920s through the 1970s.
