"Arranged in chronological order, the book's five sections and its conclusion offer a synthetic portrait of Mies's career and reception, spanning sixty years, two continents and two world wars. The text tells a continuous story, however, most chapters focus on a significant work (the Seagram building or the IIT campus), allowing for an in-depth presentation of photographs and drawings; other chapters focus on a specific event in Mies's life (such Mies's time as the head of the Bauhaus)."--publisher.

The philosophical endings of the chapters seem to ramble on and on without much coherence. So that was confusing a bit, I would have liked to stay more n the technical side. But it's fine. So, yeah, I will have to check a few more of Mies' buildings on my next trips. (
