The Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1945 and completed in 1951, is a modernist masterpiece located along the Fox River in Plano, Illinois. Built as a weekend retreat for Dr. Edith Farnsworth, the house is celebrated for its minimalist design, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a steel frame that create a seamless connection between architecture and nature. Suspended above the floodplain, the structure appears to float within its wooded surroundings, embodying Mies’s vision of simplicity, transparency, and harmony with the landscape.
