Interior Series (Part 2 of 3): Florence Knoll and Mies (Virtual)

If you would like to be able to comment or submit a question during the event, please view it directly on YouTube.

The Mies van der Rohe Society, in partnership with Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture, invite you to the next installment of the Interiors series highlighting the work of Florence Knoll (ARCH ‘41) and her relationship with Mies. Join Cynthia Vranas Olsen (M. ARCH ‘01, Ph.D. ‘17), director of the Mies van der Rohe Society, Reed Kroloff, Rowe Family College of Architecture Dean Endowed Chair, and friends from Knoll as they lead us through a virtual gallery exploring the relationship between Mies and Knoll.

The Mies van der Rohe Society is proud to announce their new fundraising project at the event, which will rehabilitate the Michael Paul Galvin Tower (West Lobby) into the Mies van der Rohe Society Gallery for Illinois Institute of Technology Campus & History, as well as the auditorium. The mission of this project is to foster creativity and encourage gathering, whether virtual or live, into spaces that are underutilized on Mies Campus. The project will provide artistic, cultural, and educational opportunities for Illinois Tech, the Bronzeville community–and beyond!
