'Fascinating and scholarly .. a remarkable achievement.' - Upfront
'Dodds comes out .. strongly in his critique of architectural methodology―and this may well be the book's most distinctive scholarly contribution.' - The Journal of Architecture
Synopsis
In 1986 on the centenary of Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), a new Barcelona Pavilion was built on the site of the original 1929 German Pavilion. That same decade marked the 150th anniversary of photography. Since then, much has been published about van der Rohe, the Pavilion, and photography, both jointly and singly. Whilst the literature on Mies van der Rohe has more than doubled in the past fifteen years, no scholar has yet to seriously study the unique phenomenon that was, is and will continue to be the Barcelona Pavilion. "Building Desire" focuses on the pavilion's image of an enduring myth of modernity.
