(2018) The mathematics of the modernist villa, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter investigates three spatial properties in the domestic architecture of Mies van der Rohe. All three are associated with Mies's rejection of the type of cellular, hierarchically-structured planning found in traditional and pre-Modern housing. In its stead, Mies proposed a "free" or "open" plan, with only a minimum of physical divisions, as a sign of his abandonment of historic social structures.
