Summary:
Mies van der Rohe in a steel and glass building smoking a cigar - this historical photograph of the world-famous architect fascinated and intrigued Richard Daza so much that he painstakingly researched the events surrounding it. He takes the reader step by step through all the architectonic and personal details in the photograph, interpreting and analysing them. With the tension of a thriller, he examines the evidence, makes deductions and gradually brings to light elements of Mies' biography, enhanced by attractive sequences of illustrations. From this one photograph the author draws a skillful picture of Mies – the architecture, the man and his character.

This book is the first, long-awaited monograph on the oeuvre created by this young practice over the last ten years, from their first efforts in Davos (Switzerland) to their recent projects for the City of Culture competition in Santiago de Compostela and for the extension to the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas.

Before linking up and mounting their own office in Zürich in 1980, Gigon was employed by Herzog & De Meuron (1985-1988), while Guyer worked in the office of Rem Koolhaas (1984-1987) and then as assistant to Hans Kollhoff in the ETHZ (1987-1988).
