In 1945-50 Mies van der Rohe built the weekend house »Farnsworth House« in Plano, Illinois. Situated on the banks of a river, this house is constructed out of steel and glass and captivates with its clear proportions and reduction of the structure to its essence. The surrounding landscape provides a direct context.
