The only piece I've ever enjoyed by him is the Farnsworth House, and that's probably because it's out in the boonies and isn't ruining great cities.

Peter Nelson - Sunday, July 22nd, 2007 @ 12:41am • The current 1st and 4th pictures of the IBM Building along the left of this page, which seem to be taken from the Michigan Avenue Bridge, show exactly what is wrong about it--and most any tall Mies building, for that matter: It is a black slab that visually serves, primarily, to obliterate whatever part of your field of view it occupies. You can find design and engineering details to be impressed with on a less immediate level, but the basic reality is that the IBM Building seems to create a gaping void. # # # In the case of these two views from the east, it is like someone dropped a black screen to block out the great Marina City towers--in the next block west--and terminating any vista of the rest of the north bank of the Chicago River. To the partial credit of Mies and IBM, they did make a point to set the building back behind a plaza so the Marina City residents could still see east up the river and (many of them) to the lake.  wilson frederick - Monday, January 23rd, 2006 @ 2:55am • Rating:  Three stars.Its great to witness an architectural masterpiece by a master craftsman Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe!
