| Summary: | Decomposing the Farnsworth house through its absolute elements reveals the essence of the architecture of Mies van der Rohe, showing that each device has its own universe, which, when arranged in a complete entity, achieves the compactness of a piece of universal art. Here the house is analyzed through one of its most innovative devices, which evidences the lightness conferred to it by being separated from the natural floor. This is an operation that emphasizes the abstraction of a fairly recurrent device in his architecture, creating a new floor plan by erecting his buildings on podiums or platforms. This analysis deepens the study of the elements that make up this dematerialized podium based on Mies' Baukunst, a look that has found answers in a panorama of primary sources that reveal Mies' method of "building with art." |
