Mies van der Rohe is one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. The inventor of the modern steel-and-glass skyscraper, Mies was a found of modernism, the head of the Bauhaus, and the creator of landmarks such as the Barcelona Pavilion and the Seagram Building. His architectural style was based on aesthetic principles that reflected not only how he built, but also how he lived. In 1937 Mies came to the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. claiming that "one does not live in the past", Mies never spoke about his last years there. Did he have something to hide? Was there any truth to the rumors and accusations that surrounded his name? Architects of Fortune is an inquiry into Mies's activities in Germany from 1933 to 1937 and his relationship to the third Reich. Seeking the realities that lie behind Mies's enigmatic genius, Elaine Hochman has found that the reasons for Mies's silence are more complex than he cared to admit. As the author blends history and biography, she examines not only Mies, but a generation of Germans who struggled with the Pressures to leave their country and their desire to stay and live their lives as they wished. Ultimately, we come to see that Mies - like so many of his fellow Germans - left his country not in protest (as commonly believed), but simply as a last resort. In understanding Mies, the artistic giant whose image has shaped the modern world, we gain a new understanding of an architecture that has affected us all, as well as of this particularly significant moment in history. This is a penetrating investigation of the confrontation between this century's most acclaimed architect and its most infamous political regime.

THE WEISSENHOFSIEDLUNG in Stuttgart is a housing development designed by the leading architects of the modern movement for the 1927 exhibition Die Wohnung (The Home), organized by the Deutscher Werkbund. Houses and apartments were built, and their interiors designed in detail, by a roster of great names: Peter Behrens, Victor Bourgeois, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, Richard Docker, Josef Frank, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, J.J. P. Oud, Hans Poelzig, Adolf Rading, Hans Scharoun, Adolf Schneck, Mart Stam, Bruno Taut, and Max Taut. The result was a unique urban environment where it was possible to see-and live in-modern architecture as it was meant to be and on a human scale. Over the years the Weissenhofsiedlung fell into neglect and decay, and at one stage it came close to being demolished. But now those houses that survived the Second World War and the postwar period have been restored, reconstructed, and placed under protection as historic monuments. Years of detective work, using the papers of the architects concerned, the records in the Stuttgart city archives, and interviews with contemporary witnesses, have enabled Karin Kirsch to assemble the first truly comprehensive account of this pioneer demonstration of modern building, from first concept to final realization. She gives a lively account of the project in narrative, in documents, and in a large number of previously unpublished photographs. In the process, she has been able to settle many problematic issues, including the parts played in the enterprise by Adolf Loos (whose intentions came to nothing), Paul Bonatz, and Paul Schnitthenner, and by the Stuttgart city authorities. The theme of the 1927 exhibition was "The Home." And so an essential part of this definitive study of the Weissenhofsiedlung consists of the surviving installation plans, furniture designs, and photographs of finished interiors, ready to be lived in.
