	bauhaus-archiv museum of design - bauhaus 1919 - 1933 - architecture - mies van der rohe
		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.

		While he had a defining influence on modern architecture, and especially the evolution of the skyscraper, he was more interested in intensifying an individual's experience of a space than in using architecture as a tool for social transformation.
		Like Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe appealed to the ideal of nature, creating a connection to the natural realm through subtle resonances between his materials -- stone, glass, steel -- and the surrounding elements of water, light, and space.
		Mies van der Rohe's Chicago housing project is brought to life at this site, which is dedicated to providing information about the history and theory of his "glass houses" (built between 1948 and 1951).

	Friends of The Farnsworth House (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Behrens was an admirer of the style of 19th century neo-classicist Karl Friedrich Schinkel, a style that strongly influenced Mies van der Rohe, as witnessed in Mies' Kroller-Muller House project of 1912.
		In 1921, Mies moved away from all reference to historical style and only maintained contact with the past by favoring clarity of form, rationality of expression similar to Schinkel, and stern geometric extraction.
		In 1938, Mies emigrated to the United States and continued to maintain the style of his earlier works: precision and integrity of form carried out in the most partician of building materials.

		In my opinion it is just the opposite.' Second: The materials used are industrially produced and the manner in which they are used acknowledges the specific nature of each.
		Mies van der Rohe believed that structure in this sense is a philosophical concept: 'The whole, from top to bottom, to the last detail, with the same ideas.' 'The physicist Schrodinger said of general principles that the creative vigour of a general principle depends precisely on its generality.
		And although each building is a single solution, it is not motivated as such.' In attempting to clarify this idea further, Mies van der Rohe often used the analogy of language: 'A living language can be used for normal day to day purposes as prose.

		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.
