A fascinating and informative introduction to the work of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), one of the 20th century’s most influential architects, combining his classic buildings with observations from architecture superstars, including Rem Koolhaas, Elizabeth Diller and Phyllis Lambert, plus comments from his biographer and family. Mies’ entire body of work (more than 70 buildings) and modernist and minimalist style reflect his motto that “less is more”.

"Delightfully thoughtful and sensual... is itself a model of design. Cinematographer Francois Dutil lavishes tracking shots on Mies landmarks [and] highlights lustrous details, always attuned to the interplay of light, shadow and rain with Mies' glass, steel and concrete. Ramachandra Borcar's superb jazz score cues the eye to spatial rhythms in Mies' facades and plazas. The architectural experts on hand...prove to be adept wordsmiths in their aptly edited soundbites. A lens for looking at Mies' modernist and minimalist style."
— Chicago Sun-Times
