Description
Prima edizione 1960.
The story of modern architecture is told in this absorbing and beautifully illustrated book through the lives and works of the three men who changed the face of the cities we live in: France's Le Corbusier, Germany's Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and America's Frank Lloyd Wright.
As we walk along the streets of America, we see the impact of their personalities all around us-in steel and glass, in concrete and wood, in brick and stone. For virtually no modern office building, apartment house, or private home constructed today would look the way it does.but for the influence of these three remarkable men.
The irascible Corbu gave to modern design a sure and brilliant sense of form; the austere and gentle Mies brought an almost Gothic discipline of structure; and the flamboyant Wright heralded a new and dramatic concept of space and freedom-the twin characteristics of his native America.
In The Master Builders, Peter Blake-an architect himself and an editor of Architectural Forum-chronicles each man's life and work, commenting along the way about his foibles and his masterpieces with refreshing wit and candor. And, through this triple focus, he provides a perspective on the entire range of twentieth-century architecture.
Mr. Blake strikes a miraculously just balance between exposition and interpretation, between enthusiasm and criticism. He warms to all three of these highly different architects, but is aware of their limitations. And by interweaving personal details into the story of their careers, he succeeds in creating vivid portraits of all three.
The Master Builders will appeal equally to those who know little about architecture and those who know a great deal. And it will invite and stimulate all of us to see the buildings around us with new eyes.
