Mies Van Der Rohe Unbuilt Exhibition

A concept and visual identity design proposed for a Mies Van Der Rohe exhibition. Mies Van Der Rohe is a well known and celebrated architect. Instead of focusing on the structures that gave him this notability the exhibition features the structures throughout his career that were never completed, and therefore Unbuilt. Mies Van Der Rohe has a vast portfolio of buildings that were iconic to the time and he was seen as a pioneer in modern architecture. However there were some building that never were, many building that were planned but were never executed. The exhibition focuses on these buildings and projects that were never built and to the stages that they got. The exhibition has a lot of focus on the process of the projects, the drawings, planning and model buildings. The MoMa in New York houses all the archives for Mie Van Der Rohe as preservation, this included the archives from his unbuilt structures. The Exhibiton will show all the paper documents for each unbuilt project, housed in glass encased tables. They would also feature three dimensional models of the buildings and brief videos. The unbuilt Structure feature are: The 50 x 50 Housing Project, The Mansion House Project, The Brick Country House, The Fredrichstrasse, The Krefield Golf Course and The 1930’s Island Home. The typeface and logo identity system reflects the exhibition content by also being incomplete and Unbuit.
