Mies van der Rohe Haus

Max Bill had been working since 1948 on one of the earliest tributes to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, which he finally published in 1955 in the series architetti del movimento moderno published by il balcone in Milan. The Mies van der Rohe Haus is taking the exhibition Max Bill and the impact of Bauhaus ideas  as an opportunity to republish the monograph in German.

The architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe lived and worked in Berlin for thirty years. For him, the Temple of Western Modernism on Potsdamer Strasse and the Lemke House on lake Obersee represent points of departure and return, lighting out and legacy. But these are only two key points of his work. In and around Berlin and Potsdam, the great avant-garde architect designed and built many buildings. And subsequently also rejected a good number of them. For the first time, with the help of the Mies Map, it is now possible to experience the early Mies in all his breadth and diversity. The Map fits in every pocket and is an invitation to cross the historical paths of Mies by all means.
