A later plan shows two rows, but of three columns only, one end of the roof still being supported by walls. Finally, a completely regular structure and freely composed wall planes are superposed as independent but contrapuntal systems. It is as though the concrete office building and the brick country house had been overlaid a synthesis of Scholasticist clarity and Neoplasticist spatial continuity. Just as Mies's brick houses of the 1920's reworked the project of 1923-24, the houses of the 1930's were variations on the Barcelona theme. But by 1945-46, when Mies began to design the Farnsworth House, this synthesis was no longer good (that is, clear) enough. Therationality of the Pavilion's structure

Bauhaus, Mies considered at problems he had observed in teaching there. When he accepted the appointment in Chicago in the fall of 1937, his thoughts on the curriculum had matured, and he instituted them. Although Mies's curriculum is based on the actual problems of architecture, it is not a version of an office or actual practice. The problems Mies introduced, such as the court house, are simple, clear and highly abstract, and were developed further in the school. Students studied architectural technique to be capable of building simply and clearly. But, the study of technique is also abstract and the lessons learned are In the nature of problems in particular, and problem solving in general.his private teaclning after closing the

Europe. While visual training was recogit

nized as a need at the Bauhaus, at NT Peterhans developed

into a

course which taught students visual perception. In America, Hilberseimer's highly abstract analyses in planning characteristic of his European teaching, expanded to include an ecological approach, addressingitself

to the particularities of the individual site in addition to the appli-

cation of general principles.
