ON THE DESIGN PROCESS OF THE PLAN OF GLASS SKYSCRAPER PROJECT BY MIES VAN DER ROHE

TL;DRAbstract

With the unique plan of Mies'Glass Skyscraper Project(1922), the design process is made clear from the analysis of the primary plan and Friedrichstrasse Office Project(1921). First the site is derived from the north part of the Fridrichst-rasse Project. Then the square grid is drawn along the site boundary line. And then on the grid the circular elevater hall is set in the center of the site. Then the axes of the three entrances are decided by the center of the elevater hall, the site boundaries and the corridors of the Friedrichstrasse Office. And the outline of the plan is derived from the circles that are in contact with the site boundaries.
