Résumé:
The only residence built by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in America, Farnsworth House (1948-51) exemplifies the central tenet both of the International Style, be inverting the conventions of traditional architecture, and of Mies' own design philosophy. Commissioned by Dr. Edith Farnsworth to build a weekend retreat, Mies designed the house as an envelope of glass and steel floating over the Illinois Fox River flood plain. Its spare interior was intended for a simpler, cleaner, and healthier lifestyle. Even before its completion, however, architect and client had fallen out over expenses and practical problems with the house, and by the time Lord Palumbo bought it in 1972, Farnsworth had changed many of the interior elements dictated so precisely by Mies. Following a ruinous flood in 1996, the house has been faithfully reconstructed to its original conception. Richly illustrated with detailed drawings and specially commissioned photography, this latest book in an award winning series provides an in depth account of this icon of twentieth century Modernist architecture.

Résumé:
John Soane (17531837) was one of the most influential and original of all English architects. In this lavishly illustrated biography, Gillian Darley places Soane's life and buildings side by side, examining both. Born the son of a bricklayer, Soane was a self-made man, egotistic, irascible, with encyclopedic interests. He built himself a remarkable town house that he filled with treasures and left in trust to the nation. By 1800 he was rich and successful, designing both private houses for powerful clients and public works. Consummate at securing patronage, he was the personal architect to two prime ministers. He was architect to the Bank of England, to Chelsea Hospital, and to the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons. He designed the Dulwich Art Gallery, the first purpose-built art gallery in Britain. Possessed throughout his life by a dream to rebuild the Houses of Parliament, he developed many visionary schemes. Late in life, he built the new Law Courts at Westminster and many of the premises for the growing departments of state.
