El Crown Hall es uno de los 20 edificios diseñados por Mies van der Rohe para el Instituto Tecnológico de Illinois (IIT) en Chicago. Esta es la pieza central de un masterplan para el campus fundado en 1940 que ocupa aproximadamente 50 hectáreas, presentando la mayor concentración de obras de Mies en el mundo.
Designed by Mies in 1956, Crown Hall cohesively represents his architectural concepts and theories in their most complete and mature form. A National Historic Landmark, Crown Hall is a straightforward expression of construction and materiality, which allows the structure to transcend into art.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (or Mies, as he was known) already had a distinguished career before emigrating to the United States in 1937. When he accepted an appointment to head IIT’s College of Architecture (at the time the Armour Institute of Technology) he also agreed to design a master plan for the school’s campus.
His emphasis on a strong grounding in the fundamentals of architecture and on a disciplined method of problem solving is reflected in Illinois Tech’s curriculum today. When Mies arrived in 1938, he championed a back-to-basics approach to education.
