With never-before-seen sketches, archival photography, case studies, ephemera, and an illustrated inventory of his designs, this book delves deep into Quistgaard's life and work to reveal his critical contribution to design history.

Parrish, Executive Director of the Farnsworth House 'Do we need another book on the master of universal space, heir to the Platonic ideal, and pursuer of the perfectly understated environment? For those interested in the intellectual context of the work - in Mies as philosopher-architect - the answer is yes.' - Library Journal, Starred Review 'A hulking new monograph.' - The Wall Street Journal 'Designers and design buffs seeking to understand this giant better make room on their shelves for Mies.' - Interior Design 'If you've been coveting the definitive guide to one of the world's most celebrated architects, this epic volume is worth the splurge.' - The New York Post '...

Stuffed full of photographs, plans, and archival material, [Mies] is the new benchmark.' - Wallpaper 'Mertins' hefty and lavishly illustrated volume is ambitiously comprehensive... It challenges us to question all previous assumptions we may have entertained about the architect... One of the greatest virtues of Mertins' Mies, one which distinguishes this work from the many monographic studies of the architect, is a deeply ingrained historiographic consciousness... The author's thorough knowledge [is not used] towards recycling the same arguments, but as the foundational material to contribute something new... Mertins' book asks us to reconsider the very genre of the architectural monograph.' - Architectural Review | The American architectural theorist Detlef Mertins made lasting contributions to the theory and history of modernism in architecture, art, philosophy, and urbanism. He taught widely, including professorships at the universities of Pennsylvania, Toronto, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Rice.
