The Anatomy of a Historic Preservation Project (PART II): Restoring the Work of Mies van der Rohe ~ When ‘Less’ Was Not Always Enough - 2009W |
Description:
Mies van der Rohe was one of the greatest architects of the 20th Century. Many of his projects are now over 50 years old and have been designated as historic landmarks. Mies van der Rohe was famous for his elegant lines and minimalist details. Unfortunately this approach resulted in detailing that has not always survived the test of time. Using a number of award-winning examples (i.e. S.R.
