Features: On the famous Park Avenue in New York, the Seagram Building designed by Mies van der Rohe recedes behind a spacious marble plaza, exuding a serene and distinctive demeanor to its counterparts with International-style architecture on the same street. In the design, the architect avoided the pedestal and pyramid styles commonly used by most towers in the Manhattan area, creating a simple curtain wall building adorned with warm bronze. The Seagram Building appears lively and elegant due to the evenly distributed vertical copper strips on its facade, thereby defining the style of "Modern Classicism." This book is suitable for architects and a broad readership for reading and reference.
