Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, probably the most important figure in modern architecture, was born 125 years ago today in Aachen, Germany. The BBC produced a show about him a couple years ago. The program recognizes what a towering figure he was, but, at the same time, it is not hagiographic. I am posting a playlist will the entire program below.
I have some pictures of Crown Hall, one of his buildings on the campus of IIT, in this set of photographs I took last summers. The first three photographs in the set are Crown Hall, and the ones of Lego City at the end are inside Crown Hall.
