These new titles in the Building Blocks series showcase four more icons of modern architecture, as portrayed by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. Two buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater and Taliesin West, Louis Kahn's Salk Institute, and Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building are shown in original condition, with original furnishings, as the architects intended them to be seen. Wright's integration of architecture and landscape, Kahn's dramatic yet humane monumentality, and Mies's austere elegance are revealed and preserved in Stoller's classic compositions. Small, elegant, and affordable, each volume presents the photo-graphs that made these structures famous. With 60 rich duotone plates (and 16 color plates for Taliesin West), a brief introduction, and newly drawn plans, sections, and elevations, these books constitute the essential photographic histories of the most important works of modernism.

Unfortunately the photos in this book are almost snapshot in size. On at least one occasion a single photograph is spread over two pages, which might have been an admirable solution to the problem if less of the photo weren't lost in the extremely tight binding. These important photos deserve better.
Fortunately I found and purchased a used copy of a Fortune Magazine from the 40's which contains several original colour photos from the collection. Comparing them with the miniature photos in this book demonstrates a lost opportunity.
