The building practice of Mies van der Rohe—who is internationally known for his visionary glass skyscrapers and concrete buildings—remained conventional for a long time. With Villa Wolf, he presented a radical reinterpretation of the upper-class residential building: an open, diagonal sequence of rooms on the garden side, with the cubically-towered areas of the utility rooms and bedrooms next to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reception of the building was overshadowed by the great success of Mies van der Rohe's successor buildings, such as the German Pavilion in Barcelona (1928-1929) and Villa Tugendhat in Brno (1929-1930). This volume presents the history of Villa Wolf in Gubin and documents the recent excavation of the basement as well as the graphic reconstruction as a prerequisite for the building's reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431491518700,"sku":"9783869228198","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783869228198.jpg?v=1774557682","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ludwig-mies-van-der-rohe-9783869228198","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
