The Master Builders by Peter Blake
40,00
€
First published in 1960 and revised in 1976, this book examines the work of three architects whose influence defined modern architecture: Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Written originally in the 1950s, it captures a moment when modernism was still unfolding: its ideals, contradictions, and human stories.
Reading it today, more than seventy years later, the precision of Blake’s insight feels almost prophetic. He recognized how each architect shaped not only their own era but the entire trajectory of architecture that followed.
Le Corbusier mastered form, Mies van der Rohe mastered structure, and Wright mastered space: together forming the foundations of what we still call “modern architecture”.
This 1976 edition includes Blake’s later reflections and a few posthumous works.
Each book from our Library comes with a handmade cover made from Japanese Satogami paper, produced from virgin wood pulp. The title is hand-printed and finished with a brown rope bookmark.
USA, 1960 (1976 Edition, soft cover).
Condition: Used, with signs of handling.
