		The appointment of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as director of the Bauhaus was programmatic: It was expected of him to reconcile Bauhaus patrons with the institution, to continue with the reforms introduced by Meyer, and, with the help of his outstanding artistic personality, to present a new Bauhaus image, particularly in architecture.
		Mies avoided organizing the life of the inhabitants of his houses right until the last detail so as to minimize the inside surface of the apartments; he created incomparably qualitative spaces in which spatial freedom could be experienced.
		Mies' architecture was very attractive to students who had concluded their technical education in building and wished to further their aesthetic studies with him.

	Mies van der Rohe Historic District
		The Mies van der Rohe Residential District is both an outstanding example of Modernist architecture and one of America's most successful post-World War II urban redevelopment projects.
		While the success of their work can be measured by the praise it has received over the years--one observer called it "the most spatially successful and socially significant statement in urban renewal"--perhaps a better recommendation comes in the low turnover and high occupancy rates the project continues to enjoy thirty years after its construction.
		The Mies van der Rohe Residential District is located just east of Chrysler Freeway (Interstate 375) and is roughly bounded by Rivard St.,Lafayette Ave., Orleans St., and Antietam St. The buildings within the district are private and not open to the public.

		Built as a weekend retreat for well-to-do, adventurous and independent Dr. Edith Farnsworth, the Farnsworth House is one of three residential houses by Mies van der Rohe in the United States.
		Anticipating future flooding, Mies raised the "floor" of the house five feet off the ground, which proved not to be high enough (the recent public opening of the house was delayed by a year, due to a damaging flood).
		It was purchased by Britain’s Lord Palumbo, who added furniture by Mies and who uses the house as a private retreat, despite graciously opening the house to the public.

		"The site [Mies van der Rohe] selected [for the German Pavilion in Barcelona] allowed for the transverse passage of visitors from a terrace-like avenue bordering the exhibition palaces to the other attractions.
		According to Mies, the furniture designed and fabricated especially for the pavilion, the Barcelona chairs and stools, went unused during the opening ceremony.
		Technically Mies was unable to erect the pavilion as a pure 'Dom-ino' structure; the eight cruciform columns alone could not support the roof and a number of extra columns had to be lodged in the double-skinned marble screens to help carry the load.
