Crown Hall
as the centerpiece for Mies' IIT masterplan, Crown Hall represents the architect's perfection of the modernist architectural grammar. The simplified steel & glass construction prioritizes views and natural light. The main floor is designed to be flexible, with moving partitions and an open plan. The grid that the plan is based upon anchors the rigorous layout of the building's partitions, columns, mullions, and stairs.
