Professor Dietrich Neumann's book on architect Mies van der Rohe wins a 2025 Architecture and Urban Planning PROSE award from the Association of American Publishers.

Mies van der Rohe: An Architect in His Time (Yale University Press, 2024) presents a new, critical look at Mies and complicates the established narrative about him. Diverging from the reverential posture of many existing accounts, Neumann insists on the importance of the contemporary context—social, political, and architectural—for understanding the architect’s life and work.

“The 2025 PROSE Awards Finalists and Category Winners significantly showcase a deep commitment to excellence on the part of the professional and scholarly publishing community,” commented Syreeta Swann, Chief Operating Officer at AAP. “We congratulate all of our 101 Finalists and 37 Category Winners and look forward to honoring their incredible contributions to their fields and publishing as a whole.” Read more from the AAP here.
