Philip
JohnsonÕs review of Die Wohnung unserer Zeit (German
Building Exhibition, Berlin, 1931)
The art of exhibiting is a
branch of architecture and should be practiced as
such. Mies has designed the entire
hall, containing houses and apartments by the various architects, as itself one piece
of architecture. The result
is a clear arrangement inviting inspection, instead of the usual long
central hall, with exhibits placed side by side.
