Notes |
Sited to address the Fox River that defines the southern edge of the property, the Farnsworth House’s travertine stairs lead to a low terrace, with a second set leading to an upper terrace and the enclosed living space. Four pairs of steel columns suspend this glazed space above the ground. Within, a primavera-veneered core encloses bathroom and mechanical functions. Veneered, recessed from the ceiling, and set away from the building’s edges, this core appears a piece of furniture rather than a wall, maintaining a sense of universal, continuous space. More temple than home, Mies set the house into an undeveloped rural landscape along the Fox River. Plug-welds render attachments invisible and transform the house into an object of Platonic perfection set into the rural landscape, creating a powerful dichotomy between man and nature, between idea and reality. Far from a static object, the house’s sliding horizontal planes reach out, engaging with their setting, while contrasting starkly with the organic shapes and rich colors of the prairie. Years before its construction, sketches and models of the Farnsworth House garnered acclaim, inspired imitators, and horrified the self-appointed defenders of the traditional home. The house has continued to serve as an icon of the International Style, the perfection of modernist design ideals. Referenced, revered or reviled, the Farnsworth House is critical to an understanding of architectural design in the second half of the twentieth century.
