Its minimalist interior was intended for a simpler, cleaner, and healthier lifestyle. Before its actual completion, however, architect and client had fallen out over expenses and practical problems with the house. By the time Lord Palumbo bought it in 1972, Farnsworth had changed many of the interior elements dictated so precisely by Mies. Following a ruinous flood in 1996, the house has been faithfully reconstructed to its original conception. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated with detailed drawings and specially commissioned photography, this latest book in an award-winning series provides an in-depth account of this icon of twentieth century modernist architecture.\u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;Vandenberg\u0026#8217;s text, complemented by excellent photographs and drawings, provides the best concise account of the house yet published.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eArchitects\u0026#8217; Journal, UK\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;A complete a coverage as any Mies fan would want.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eArchitecture Today, UK\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;Not a glam coffee-table book but instead scholarship in brief\u0026#8230; Both a social history and a design primer on Mies...
