Mies -McCormick House, Elmhurst Illinois #architecture #miesvanderrohe
Influenced by Mies - Seattle Public Library OMA
Mies - there’s a mies in there somewhere. Chicago skyline as it looked in 2019 from probably the north. I don’t remember what roof this is or what project took me up there but a nice hazy view
Mies - John C. Kluczynski Federal Building popping up over the post office. Preservationist decried the demolition of the neo classical Chicago Federal Building for its construction, but if you’ve been in federal plaza don’t see how you could.
Mies Adjacent - unite d'habitation Berlin a heavily altered version of the original in Marseille by Le Corbusier. An effort to resolve the post war housing crisis. Not considered a work of Corbu but still a cool piece of history.
Inspired by Mies - Hyatt lodge Oak Brook designed by Dirk Lohan Mies’ grandson as part of McDonalds Former Headquaters before they relocated to Chicago
Why can’t we have this conversation without the violence? Seems pretty bleak that everyone is doing exactly what the assassin wanted.
Mies - Farnsworth house on a beautiful summer day in 2019
Mies - IIT campus taken probably 20 years ago on 35mm. While I didn’t go to IIT I would head down there on occasion in grad school just to be in the space. Keeping in mind the broader social and urban planning decisions that made room for this campus were racist and destroyed communities.
Mies - federal plaza with Calder in the foreground. #architecture #miesvanderrohe
Mies - More Villa Tugendhat I love this house. I know he would you to admire his later works more but come on this is his master piece #architecture #miesvanderrohe
How does your coach let this end like this
Mies - under construction in 2017 New National Gallery Berlin. Special note before you plan a trip to Berlin to see the New National Gallery make sure it’s not under construction. #architecture #miesvanderrohe
