Mies van der Rohe - Visions Of Space 4/7

Mies van der Rohe - Less is More
part 4 of 7
BBC Documentary - Visions Of Space - 2003

.............................

The Farnsworth House is one of the most significant of Mies van der Rohes works.
The house embodies a certain aesthetic culmination in Rohes experiment with this building type. Also is perhaps the fullest expression of modernist ideals that had begun in Europe, but which were consummated in Plano, Illinois.

@rcam2000 Right in the middle of the "Top 10 most influential" does not make it mediocre.

"Certainly high in the middle would be Meis's designs."

haha, right in the mediocre level. Not great, but not bad. Very fitting.
