This episode features the German architect, Mies van der Rohe, who moved to America and discovered the face of the modern corporate city.



In this highly personal account, Hughes follows in Mies' footsteps looking at how an architect who began his career making kitschy, Hansel and Gretel style houses with pointy roofs, little windows and squat floorplans transformed himself into the master of international modernism - the architect of light and space.
