Mies and FFF: IBM Building (Day), Photography. 2018Mies and FFF is a series that explores Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s interpretation of Louis Sullivan’s architecture design philosophy: form follows function. To Sullivan, the idea of form follows function meant the design is according to the users' use of space; but to Mies, form follows function meant the design is according to engineering.
This series focuses on six of Mies’ identical-looking skyscrapers in Chicago, shot during both day and night.
Depending on the time of day, one of the two interpretations of form follows function becomes more prominent over the other.
