Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

This seminar will explore the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the most influential architects of the 20th Century. While Mies has been continually discussed and exhibited (the Museum of Modern Art alone held 7 exhibitions about him since 1947, most recently in 2001), to this day, his work has neither been contextualized sufficiently nor has its reception been criticially examined. Apart from studying and understanding Miles van der Rohe's work in its context, this seminar will explore responses by comtemporary critics and compare those to later interpretations.
