llIinois Institute of Technology Master Plan, Chicago , 1939 - 1958
Mies was the prime architect for the campus of llIinois Institute.
In the realized plan, clusters of buildings placed on a grade create a series of informal open spaces through a playful shifting of solid (i.e. buildings) and void (i.e. green space). A 24-foot square grid invisibly overlays the campus to guide its order.
At the Illinois Institute of Technology exposed, expressed steel frame, roof suspended from spanning I-beams.
