THE EDITH FARNSWORTH HOUSE - Mies van der Rohe

The Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Mies van der Rohe, the German architect who epitomized 20th-century modernism, held a legendary place in the public imagination long before it was opened to the public. This book chronicles the house's journey from its original design by Mies van der Rohe, through its period of neglect and abandonment, flood damage, and its arrival in Sir Peter Palumbo. Written and edited by American educator, curator, and architectural historian Michelangelo Sabatino, the book also features an essay by architectural historian Dietrich Neumann, previously unpublished memoirs by the house's client, Dr. Edith Farnsworth, and interviews with Mies's grandson, architect Dirk Rohan, and the house's second owner, Sir Peter Palumbo.
