After Mies: Mies van der Rohe, teaching and principles

Blaser, Werner

Van Nostrand-Reinhold

Blaser's well-illustrated book on stone in rural architecture is perceptive and immensely satisfying. 224 pp with French flaps; 142 b&amp;w photos and 28 other illustrations: plans, elevations. In German, English, French. "Stone as a material and the uses man has made of it are shown from the earliest beginnings" until, eventually "material, construction, and way of life become one." Examples here are largely taken from the southern Alps (Grisons, Ticino.)

Werner Blaser ist einer der renommiertesten Architekturpublizisten der letzten Jahrzehnte mit Kontakten zu nahezu allen wichtigen Architekten wie Mies, Foster, Piano oder Calatrava.  In "Synthesis" erzählt er nicht nur von seinen Begegnungen mit diesen und von seinen Erfahrungen mit ihrer Architektur. Er macht in Collagen auch gestalterische Zusammenhänge zwischen Ost und West, zwischen traditioneller und zeitgenössischer Architektur anschaulich.

Temple and Teahouse in Japan

An all-time classic finally back in print. 
After a trip to Japan in 1953, Werner Blaser published his landmark book on Classical Japanese architecture. His studies of 17th-18th-century wooden buildings document minimalist, grid-based structures using stark black-and-white photographs, some color photographs and numerous line drawings. His book, highly prized in terms of design and content, contributed significantly to introducing Japanese aesthetics to Western architecture, art and graphics. Mies van der Rohe, for example, gave it to many of his friends. 
The reprint is enriched by a text on the history of the book by Christian Blaser, Werner Blaser's son, a contribution by Inge Andritz on Mies van der Rohe and Japanese architecture, and a personal afterword by Tadao And. 
The hardcover edition resembles widely the first edition originally published back in 1955.
