About this artwork
An important aspect of Mies’s design for IIT is the way that he used standard building types to create a unified image and experience on the campus. Here, sketches for the “typical” building show how a small set of ideal architectural forms could be modified to create individual building programs for classrooms, laboratories, and residential spaces.
