John Pardey on Giuseppe Terragni’s Casa del Fascio (1936) in Como, Italy – a building that manages to embrace classical proportions and Modernist abstraction while mediating between solid and void as a means of expression.
John Pardey reflects on Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie (1968) in Berlin – a temple to glass and steel that was the German architect's realisation of 'universal space' and his swan song.
John Pardey reflects on Louis Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum (1972) in Fort Worth, Texas – a building with classical qualities that offers a series of exquisite vaulted galleries and which embodies Kahn's approach to space and weight in architecture.
Architect John Pardey introduces his series of short essays, Reflections, where he gives an account of some of the 20th Century's greatest buildings.
