  The Fundació Mies van der Rohe
The Fundació Mies van der Rohe was set up in 1983 by the Barcelona City Hall with the initial purpose of reconstructing the German Pavilion, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition.
Besides conserving and disseminating knowledge about the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, the Fundació today also fosters debate on and awareness of themes related to contemporary architecture and urban planning, as well as encouraging studies on the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and on the Modern Movement.
Outstanding among these activities is the organisation, jointly with the European Commission, of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award, one of the most prestigious of all European architecture prizes.

 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.

Being both morphological and organic it is a condition where form becomes a consequence of structure and not the reason for construction.
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.
