Farnsworth house

Designed by Mies van der Rohe

The Farnsworth house is a home designed by Mies Van Der Rohe and regarded as one of the most significant buildings ever designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. The building captured the modernist ideals that were being implemented around the 1950s. Mies Van Der Rohe was looking to utilize the space in a modern and simplistic manner that he could not do with larger scale projects. When encountered you can imagine the thoughts Mies Van Der Rohe had and understand the sleek and simple look the Farnsworth house has to it. The building is not a giant awe inspiring building, but a small package packed with imagination and ideas. The expression of the building looks to inspire architects to explore simple designs that capture modern ideals. I find this building to be an excellent display of expression.
