A JOURNEY FROM THE BAUHAUS AND BACK

MIES VAN DER ROHE WAS BORN IN GERMANY

MIES DID NOT LIKE THE ROLLING GREEN HILLS OF BAVARIA

HE PREFERRED THE CRISP ANGLES OF BERLIN'S STREETS

MIES GREW UP TO BE A FAMOUS ARCHITECT...

...AND EVENTUALLY BECAME A TEACHER AT THE BAUHAUS

unfortunateLY, HITLER SHOWED UP

MIES DIDN'T LIKE HITLER'S ARCHITECTURE. HITLER DIDN'T LIKE MIES.

MIES DECIDED AMERICA WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE

MIES THOUGHT CHICAGO WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO MAKE ARCHITECTURE

MIES WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT LONELY. CHICAGO WAS WINDY AND COLD

DESPITE HIS SUCCESS, MIES WANTED TO RETURN TO GERMANY

AT LONG LAST, A CLIENT IN GERMANY WAS FOUND

MIES HOPPED A PLANE FOR HOME

FINALLY, MIES RETURNED TO THE COMFORT OF HIS native land
