Original – The Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1945 and completed in 1951. The 1,500-square-foot (140m²) house is widely recognized as an iconic masterpiece of International Style. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006 (the year this picture was taken), and currently operates as a house museum.
Reason
Good depiction of the Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as it looks nowadays (2006) over half a century after it was built (1945-51). The choice of the season is advantageous in depicting the building and its transparency, while still representing its relation to nature. It is remarkable how much the vegetation changed compared to earlier images.
