Stroke 131 - Farnsworth House (# 1)



An icon of modern architecture and one of the most famous houses in the world.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to this masterpiece of the master Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, whether you love or hate it; but, what nobody can deny is that he was far ahead to the time it was designed, between 1945 and 1951, even considering we were in the golden era of experimental architecture.


Mies created a house without walls (so to speak), and caused a war among critics, among peers and between himself and the client, but he won...


I will not talk much about the house, unless that the most fascinating to me is how Mies solve all the features in a small inner core. Simply ingenious...


What led me to model this house was the need to understand and feel it more comprehensively, despite all that has been written and described about her, since hardly I shall have opportunity to visit her on site.


Of course there are many 3d available on the network, even because it is a very simple model, but, those I have met always had some errors, especially wrong furniture and sanitary appliances, or wrong coating textures, which greatly changes the perception of the whole.


In addition, the landscape is generally very little broad, not doing justice to one of the main elements of the house.


Therefore, put my hands to work and now I come to share the final result with a complete "making of" in 5 strokes.


(in the next stroke I will show the home modulation process.)
