Résumé

The comprehensive story of an icon of modern architecture : the Edith Farnsworth House designed by Mies van der Rohe. One of the most famous residences in modern history, a glass and steel marvel that seems to float above its site, the Edith Farnsworth House had been legendary in the public imagination long before it could be widely accessed. This book charts the original design by Mies van der Rohe and periods of neglect, flooding, and new ownership by Lord Peter Palumbo.
Now publicly accessible and celebrating twenty years of being owned and administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this icon of modern architecture commissioned by client and patron Edith Farnsworth now gets its due.
