As promised from my review of Mies van der Rohe by Claire Zimmerman: Some of Mies' key projects.
[Side note: I'm getting a lot of hits on this post, probably because the post title includes the words "miserable truth". I used the words "miserable truth" because of the roots of his name (mies ~ miserable, rohe ~ truth) and because some (I'm not one of them...) consider modern architecture (of which "truth" and "honesty" is important) miserable. Enjoy!]
The first date is the design date; the second date is the construction completion date.
