Farnsworth House

by Maritz Vandenberg

Many houses compete for the title of most important design of the 20th century - Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House is often regarded amongst them. An elegant, single-storey, uninterrupted glass enclosure, it is situated alongside the Fox River 50 miles west of Chicago, raised clear of the ground, above flood level, on eight steel stanchions.
