Farnsworth House
Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe
In 1946 Dr. Edith Farnsworth commissiond the construction of a second home, which she wished to place in a relax and ascetic environment, with the intention of spending some seasons there.
The architect chosen to perform this work is the German Ludvig Mies Van Der Rohe and the ideal place to erect it is a solitary place located near the town of Pleino in Illinois United States.

    I am surprised that you did not mention his Villa Tugendhat in Bohemia (1930, Brno). It is one of the few family houses that is included in the UNESCO list. It is wonderful!

    (At 04:25) That sculpture in the left of the frame looks like a kinetic work by George Rickey, probably one of the "Parallel Lines" pieces. Anybody know anything about what happened to it ('cause it's not there now)? A date for this image would be a good start. Regards, Kev

    It was auctioned off at Sotheby's by one of the last owners, shortly before it was bought by the State of Illinois to make it a national monument.

    My guess would be that this was one of the sculptures Peter Palumbo, the second owner of the house had installed all across the property after he took possession of the house in 1970. After the auction of the home, he relocated many (if not all - I'm not 100% sure) of those sculptures to his property Kentuck Knob in Pennslyvania. So I'd think it would be there. This photo was almost certainly taken after he took possession of the home since Dr. Farnsworth would not have had that sculpture (it was not to her taste) and the furniture in the home doesn't appear to be hers.

    @@felixguerrero6062 It can definately be confusing since before the auction occurred there were a few attempts by various organizations (the state, county, etc.) to acquire the house. Dr. Farnsworth even once offered to leave it to the local government in her will before she sold the house to Palumbo.

    @@Username-le4eq What I meant was, his own modernist architecture had no personal connection to him. It was more of an intellectual exercise rather than a philosophy of life to live by. In that sense, I feel that Rhoe's architecture, like most modern Architects had no character. To Rhoe, a rustic farmhouse in the country had more character and warmth of charm than the lifeless steel, glass and concrete boxes he designed.

    Yeah but aside from just looking cool, it's lost on everyone that it's a failure as a house by all measures. It's tough to heat, had no A C., constant structural problems, and I think it'd be rather difficult to live out of for two days even. It's good for cocktail parties. That's all. You can't call it a "house" unless, by some stretch, it could actually be lived in.

    Ill-adapted for Midwestern climate. Successful architecture takes environment (and culture) into account in its design. This represents the fundamental failure of Modern architecture no matter how technical and "pure" it is.
