Building + Art: Farnsworth House Anatomy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798856582320)

Venture into the intricate layers of universal architecture with this analytical volume. The text systematically deciphers how authentic architectural significance emerges from the intersection of two fundamental areas of human endeavour: the practical mechanics of building and the intricate nuances of artistic thought.
Embark on a methodological review of a seminal structure, drawing closer to the methodologies and foresights of architectural luminaries whose contributions have tangibly influenced our built environment. Central to this discourse is the Farnsworth Residence - a representative specimen of modernist architecture, assiduously conceptualised by the eminent German architect, Mies Van der Rohe, amidst the dynamic shifts of the mid-20th century.
Readers will navigate through a rigorous examination delineating the architectural progression, from initial conceptual sketches to the realised structure. Through this journey, the volume adeptly interprets profound architectural philosophies into concrete, aesthetically-driven construction methodologies. Dive deep into this symbiotic relationship between functional pragmatism and aesthetic considerations, an essential reference for both architectural connoisseurs and academic researchers.
