It was restored in 2003, and still used as a dining hall for students.It was meant to be simple, and in fact, it is simple.The complex includes the 45-story John C.Kluczynski Federal Building, the 30-story Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse and a wide, single-story post office that sits in between the towers.However, in 1963, the architect?s focus returned back to Chicago to design and construction this aluminum, concrete and glass tower near Lake Michigan.Of the building, Mies once said, ?There is nothing spectacular about this chapel; it was not meant to be spectacular.This design, centered around a vine-covered courtyard, was the architect?s largest building at IIT.But in its simplicity it is not primitive, but noble, and in its smallness it is great, in fact, monumental.The apartments here have incredible views of Lake Michigan, which you can take a look into here.

From the Federal Center to the IIT campusPrint.Born in the USA: The American Book of Origins.He sought an objective approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, but was always concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era.English; ISBN 0316126438; ISBN 978-0316126434.A one-story adaptation of the exterior curtain wall of his famous 860?880 Lake Shore Drive towers, it served as a prototype for an unbuilt series of speculative houses to be constructed in Melrose Park, Illinois.Without solid exterior walls, full-height draperies on a perimeter track allow freedom to provide full or partial privacy when and where desired.He was also one of the founders of the architectural association Der Ring.He joined the avant-garde Bauhaus design school as their director of architecture, adopting and developing their functionalist application of simple geometric forms in the design of useful objects.Mies van der Rohe, one of the great figures of 20th-century architecture, died in Wesley Memorial Hospital here late last night.

It's strength and clarity of form are distinguishable and appreciated along the Chicago skyline, a tribute to the lifelong study of structural expression, organizational scale, material simplicity, proportion, and constructive detail.A pure symbol of the architecture of the time, the almost 700 foot tall rectangle sits on a raised plinth that helps it to maintain a uniform height given the unevenness of the site; State Street to the structure's west inclines steeply.Positioned on a riverside site, the IBM Building is open to views of the lake, and is very striking to passerby crossing over the river.Although sales prices are around half of those for the high-end Trump units that are right next door, the fact that the IBM is now blocked in by taller structures along the east and west facades may make it more difficult to sell.

Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig; International Style The International Style of architecture as seen in Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Esplanade Apartments (two buildings in the foreground right) and Lake Shore Drive Apartments (the two adjacent towers), Chicago.A heavy man, badly plagued by arthritis, Mies continued to live alone in a spacious apartment in an old building near Lake Michigan in Chicago until his death in 1969.Soon after he arrived in the country, he gained an appointment as director of the School of Architecture at Chicago?s Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology ).Mies served as the school?s director for the next 20 years, and, by the time he retired in 1958, the school had become world-renowned for its disciplined teaching methods as well as for its campus, which Mies had designed in 1939?

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe - Mies in America: Four years later, in 1937?again after working mainly on projects that were never built?Mies moved to the United States. Soon after he arrived in the country, he gained an appointment as director of the School of Architecture at Chicago?s Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology). Mies served as the school?s director for the next 20 years, and, by the time he retired in 1958, the school had become world-renowned for its disciplined teaching methods as well as for its campus, which Mies had designed in 1939?41. A cubic simplicity marked the campus buildings, which could easily be adapted
