House. Project in collaboration with architect Goebbels. Quermatenweg 2-4, Berlin, Germany. The site was directly adjoining the Perls house.

Wolf House, 1925-1927
House. It stood in Guben (now Poland), on a lot extended from the Teichbornstrasse southwesterly to a thoroughfare on the east bank of the Neisse River. It is considered that Mies did not construct a building in the post-World War I modernist manner until this House commissioned by Erich Wolf.

Youth Hostel, no date
Unbuilt project. Possible location was Schwielow-See, near Berlin, Germany. No conclusive evidence has been found that Mies played any active role whatever in the design. The drawings suggest his authorship less than that of Sergius Ruegenberg, who has, in fact, claimed the project for himself. Ruegenberg was an assistant for Mies for years.

ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY: BUILDING AND PROJECTS

Chicago, IL, USA.
American Association of Railroads Complex, 1948-1956
Offices, laboratories, and service areas. For the most part, the complex conforms to the 24-by 24-foot campus module and Mies's comparably standard use of steel or reinforced concrete skeleton system with glass and brick curtain walls.

Bailey Hall Apartments, 1952-1955

Boiler Plant, 1945-1950
Plant. It is located near 34th Street, between Federal Street and the old New York Central and Rock Island railroad tracks. This plant was constructed when it was evident that the old building that had served as the central heating plant for Armour Institute of technology since it was built in 1891 was no longer capable of serving the building proposed in Mies's master plan.

Carman Hall Apartments, 1951-1953

Chemistry Building (Wishnick Hall), 1945-1946
Academic building. It was named for the IIT trustee Robert I. Wishnick. It is just north and across 33rd Street from Siegel Hall. The two buildings are near twins.

Civil Engineering Building and Mechanics Building, 1948
Unbuilt project. This group was to have been built along the west side of the campus on the north side of 33rd Street just north of the existing Machinery Hall.

Commons Building, 1952-1953
Common building. It is located at 3200 South Wabash Street close by the school's housing and fraternity complex. It contains facilities serving students and faculty campus residents alike: bookstore, valet shop, post office, grocery, campus housing office, kitchen, and dining area. The building underscores in its totality and supports in its details Mies's dictum that architecture is rooted in structure, with its expression springing from that fact.

Cunningham Hall Apartments, 1952-1953

Electrical Engineering and Physics Building (Siegel Hall), 1945
Academic building. It was named for the IIT trustee David T. Siegel. It was erected on the south side of 33rd Street at Dearborn Street while the early studies placed it just north of 33rd Street and close to the old New York Central and Rock Island railroad tracks. It is just south and across 33rd Street from Wishnick Hall. The two buildings are near twins.

Field House Building, Gymnasium, Natatorium, 1945
Unbuilt projects. Athletic facilities. From the early plan studies, the athletic facilities of IIT were meant to lay between 30th and 32nd streets and from State Street west to the old New York Central and Rock Island Railroad right of way.

Flagpoles, 1954
Two schemes for the location are shown. The former indicates a flagpole on the lawn of the old Graduate House (now demolished) at Michigan Avenue and 33rd Street, while the latter shows where the two poles stand now in a north-south axis on the lawn to the south of Grover M. Hermann Hall.

Gas Booster and Metering Plant, 1950
Plant. It was to serve the boiler plant of IIT. The proposed location was to the north of the Boiler Plant

General Housing, 1951-1955
Apartment complex. The IIT apartment of three buildings (Carman Hall, Bailey hall, and Cunningham Hall) occupies the northeast sector of the campus. A fourth apartment building in the same grouping was executed by other architect. All of them are located between 31st Street and the south side of 32nd Street. These buildings were intended to accommodate staff, faculty, and married students.

Carman Hall Apartments, 1951-1953
60 East 32nd Street

Bailey Hall Apartments, 1952-1955
3101 South Wabash Street

Cunningham Hall Apartments, 1952-1953
3100 South Michigan Avenue

IIT Alumni Memorial Hall, 1945-1946
After Mies had modified and refined the details used in his earlier work, the basic details were developed for this project became standard for many later campus buildings.

IIT Central (Electrical) Vault, 1946
The building complies with the campus module, but is notable for its brick wall-bearing construction

IIT Library and Administration Building, 1944-1945
Unbuilt project. It is possible that Mies intended the library to dominate the center of the north super block of the campus between 31st on north, 33rd Streets on south, State Street on east, and the New York Central and Island Railroad tracks on west (now the site of Grover M. Hall).

IIT Master Plan, General Studies, Preliminary Studies, 1939-1941
Campus master plan. Mies was in Chicago for less than a year when he received a commission for the master plan of the campus of Armour Institute of Technology (later became IIT). At first the project was a secret shared by Mies and Henry Heald, president of Armour who admired Mies's talents as much as he felt ill-disposed toward a master plan already in the work by Alferd Alschuler, who died shortly after Mies set to work.

IIT Student Union Building, 1940-1952
Unbuilt project. Students center. This building was the other twin of the unbuilt Library and Administration Building.

IITRI Addition: Materials and Technology Building, 1956-1958
Research building. Including IITRI addition to it, this building was the first of Mies's new IIT campus buildings and his first completed work in America.

IITRI Chemistry Research Building, 1957-1958
Unbuilt project. The intended site was at the south end of the IITRI complex on 35th Street, extending from Dearborn on the east Street to Federal Street on the west.

IITRI Engineering Research Building Storage Building, 1949
Storage sheds. Two storage sheds of brick were connected to the east faced of IITRI Engineering Building after three years of its construction.

IITRI Engineering Research Building, 1944-1946

IITRI Life Sciences Research Building, 1951-1952
Formerly Armour Research Foundation-ARF Mechanical Engineering Research Building. The building was intended not only for research in the life sciences, but for work in heat transfer, design of weapon systems, and stress analysis.

IITRI Minerals and Metals Research Building, 1942-1943
Research building. Including IITRI addition to it, this building was the first of Mies's new IIT campus buildings and his first completed work in America.

IITRI Test Cell, 1950
It was built for Armour Research Foundation (now the IIT Research Institute) on the northwest corner of 35th and South Federal streets. It was initially used for research in the testing of firearms. It no longer serves that purpose and, until recent time, is used for storage.

Institute of Gas Technology Complex, 1947-1955
It is located immediately south of S.R. Crown Hall. The project was designed as steel structure buildings. Budgetary restrictions, however, necessitated a shift to reinforced concrete. There is IGT South Building and IGT North Building. The South Building first housed the Armour Research Foundation and was later known as the IIT Research Institute (IITRI) Physics and Electrical Engineering Research Building. IGT purchased it from IIT in 1976. it contained the first industrial nuclear reactor in the United States, and was dismantled in 1977-78.

Landscape Studies, 1947
Landscape. This landscape plan and others were done by Alfred Caldwell, along-time member of IIT architectural faculty. Following World War II Mies engaged Caldwell to work with him on campus landscaping problems.

Lettering for AAR Chicago Technical Center Administration Building, 1952

Lettering, 1940s onward
Lettering and numbering signs. Seeking a standard type of letters and numbers for campus signage, Mies chose a simple sans serif Gothic face akin to the one he had used at the Bauhaus.

Lewis Institute Building, 1945
Unbuilt project. Academic building. It was planned for the southeast corner of 33rd and South Dearborn streets where Siegel Hall now stands.

Lithographic Foundation Building, 1945
Unbuilt project. The possible location was at the northwest corner of State Street and 34th Street, immediately north of the site on which S.R. Crown Hall was built about ten years later.

Materials Testing Shop, 1946
Unbuilt project. Laboratory. There is no indication for its location. However, since it was intended to serve both the Civil Engineering and Mechanics departments, one can speculate it to be situated in that same general area adjacent to the railroad right of way

Metallurgy and Chemical Engineering Building (Perlstein Hall), 1945-1946
Academic building. The vocabulary of basic building details that Mies developed in Alumni Memorial Hall became the standard elements of many of the later IIT buildings. Among these, Perlstein Hall was the first to incorporate a lecture room and an interior court, administration offices, and a foyer.

Miscellaneous Classrooms/Laboratory Building Studies

Robert F. Carr Memorial Chapel of St. Savior, 1949-1952
Chapel. It is the only ecclesiastical building ever completed by Mies. It is 37 feet wide, 60 feet long, and 19 feet high. Its walls are constructed of buff brick with interior partitions of natural finished oak.

S.R. Crown Hall, 1950-1956
College of Architecture. It represents everything Mies though appropriate to a building devoted to architectural education. It is also his first large-scale, clear-span, universal-space building (120 X 220 X 18 feet). It took the form of a unitary space in which, as Mies saw it, an assortment of function and tasks could be carried out modified or even changed, with optimal flexibility. He spent only two year in S.R. Crown Hall before retiring from the faculty in 1958. Before that, he was conducting his classes for almost decades in the Art Institute of Chicago and several commercial offices in downtown until he moved in 1947 to Alumni Memorial Hall on IIT campus.

Student Housing, 1950; Fraternity Housing, 1954
Unbuilt project. Housing. The possible location for the housing was at the area between 32nd and 33rd streets to dormitories and fraternity building between 33rd and 34th streets.

Television Station, 1951
Unbuilt project. TV educational building. The program requirements that the drawings address far exceed those presently met by the IITV educational program, which is carried out in a single lecture hall where teachers broadcast courses to classrooms located in various industries throughout the Chicago area.

Watchman's Station, 1947
Unbuilt project. Kiosk. Mies's office designed a kiosk for IIT's security guards. No evidence of the intended locations.
