Whole artwork view. White headline over a pastel and graphite drawing on paper by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, belonging to his famous 1923 project Concrete Country House; the cover reproduces two drawings of the house, belonging to the MOMA collection in New York; the upper one has cold colours, light blue and pale yellow, while the other has brown coloured walls and the windows given in yellow with blue highlights; both the samples show a detail of the drawing, which outlines the facade overlooking the garden, with all the walls wealthy of apertures; the squared blocks, masterpiece of modernism, arrange a sort of squared yard, not closed yet used as garden, and raised with respect to the base of the house.
