A man (evidently the architect Mies van der Rohe), stands in a room in a glass-and-steel building. This is the scene that author Ricardo Daza uses for his investigation into the man, the room, the building, and what the architect is looking at.

Beyond the analysis of their technical or compositional structure, the book includes sample pictures by photographs like Catala- Roca, Kindel , Pando, Llado, Maspons - Ubina Gomez or Massats and architects as Aizpurua , de la Sota and Higueras
