MoMA.org: Mies in Berlin/Mies in Ameria
<http://www.moma.org/mies/>

In 2001, the Museum of Modern Art in Berlin and the
Whitney Museum of
American Art in New York City celebrated one of the
greatest architects of
the twentieth century, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, with
concurrent exhibitions
that showcased the architect's work. Although the
exhibits no longer exist,
this Web site highlights some of Meis's most famous
works, including the
German Pavilion in Barcelona, the Seagrams Building in
New York City, and
the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. The
site, like the life of
the architect, is divided between Meis in Berlin and
Meis in America,
although the same information can be found in each
section. Meis's most
famous works are pieced together in a timeline that
begins with his first
project, the Riehl House, and ends with the completion
of the New National
Gallery in Berlin. Along with photographs of each of
the projects, the Web
site provides information about Meis's life at the
time of the project, his
visions for the completed product, and other factors
that influenced his
designs. [KH]
