Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe, Farnsworth House, 1946-1951
ÒI believe
that the Farnsworth House has never really been understood. I myself have been in this house from morning to nightfall. Until then, I had never realized how
colorful nature could be.
Inside, neutral tones have to be carefully used since all colors exist on the outside. These colors change continuously and
completely, and IÕd like to say that it is simply
glorious.Ó
