i've just reviewed this book and i think this book can enhanced the technical of sketching. Step by step we can learn more about sketching by the author.

This is a real masterpiece of a book about one of the greatest masters in architecture: Beautiful details of Mies van der Rohe`s splendid functionalism and clean sense of beauty. The inspiring features of German Bauhaus meet the pragmatism of Japanese functionalism. A true "must" for lovers of modern architecture and design...

Jahn's wonderful works of glass are shown in this book through his sketches and pictures of models. Unfortunately many of his now built works do not contain photographs. Each project comes with a short but well written description. The book also contains short essays by the architect on his design principles.

It is compareble to the pocket edition published by Gustavo Gili (G.G.) and that has long ago vannished from the stores for having souch a large demand. This version by Warner Blaser has a better quality layout, at a higher price and larger format but keeps the contents to the essence. It doesn't teach you his concepts and goals, it is his works for your own interpretation. For those Mies van der Rohes` fans, it is a book to keep under the pillow.
