"When Ludwig Mies van der Rohe came to London in 1959 to receive the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, he was asked if he would like to visit some British buildings. His hosts imagined the great man might like to see the iconoclastic work of rising stars such as James Stirling or Alison and Peter Smithson. But Mies, the son of a Prussian stonemason, was keen to visit just the one building, in rural Wiltshire."
