Mies Van Der Rohe

A little over two years ago I went to a party in Chicago on Lakeshore Drive. The building where the party was hosted looked somehow familiar to me but must have resulted unimpressive to many. Now, look at the picture below and try to guess when this high rise was designed. The answer is 1948. The architect is Ludwig Mies van der Rohe: one of the great minds that contributed to make Chicago an architectural masterpiece.

Beauty is around you. Sometimes you need to dig just a little deeper to appreciate the beauty of ideas and their impact on the world.

Will Beauty save the world? I’m still unsure but am slowly getting there, Fyodor.
