he one-room, steel-and-glass house designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has been called one of the most important works of
20th century
architecture. Located in a beautiful meadow on the banks of the Fox River
two miles south of Plano, Illinois the Farnsworth
House has been called
sculptural in its simplicity and a masterpiece of design.
Mies
temple-like pavilion both invites and challenges visitors.
Its
unsurpassed views through transparent walls will cause you to consider
anew how a man-made object best relates to nature. Its not like
any house
you have ever been in.
