This glass pavilion, fully opened, is one of the most radical housing projects of Miens. Eight vertical steel pillars that will endure both the construction of steel roof and the floor will support the weekend house located on a wooded area near the Fox River. The latter is also supported by the glazing bars, precisely dimensioned, which extend from the top to the ground. As opposed to black enamel coating on the supporting elements of the IIT, the Farnsworth House, the stainless steel parts have been painted white.

Some years later, Miens explained in an interview with the principle regarding the area of glass Farnsworth House: “Nature should take his own life. Should be preserved to alter it with the color of our houses and interior decoration, rather we would achieve a greater degree of unification of nature, the house and humans. When you contemplate the nature through the glass panes of the Farnsworth House, it acquires a deeper meaning when viewed from the outside. Nature is more openly expressed, becomes part of a larger whole. “

⎯ The Farnsworth House has next to contemporary project, never built, the house 50×50 feet square ⎯ between Miens recent housing projects. After these pavilions opened and both made for a house dedicated to the contemplation of nature, it seems that the architect had exhausted the subject of housing, it was clear that ultimately had led to the reflections related to this issue.

The Farnsworth House was designed and built for a single woman, the eminent Dr. Edith Farnsworth of Chicago, and after years of continuous and intensive consultations with the client got carried out, at first, Mrs. Farnsworth was thrilled not only with the project but also the personality of the architect, but after finishing suffered a great disappointment because the house was habitable be difficult due to its abstract simplicity. This and other circumstances led to the break between Miens, Mrs. Farnsworth, and a lawsuit against the architect because the final value of the building. Among other things, the client sued the poor conditioning of the interior of the building and excessive costs exceeded the initial budget. The simplicity of the Farnsworth House and conceptual elegance and beauty make it one of the most outstanding buildings of Miens.

No doubt, the world of design has always focused on the objects-prosthesis: functional or statutory, which subsequently were designed and constructed as complements to the body. In recent years, the concept of “micro world” emerges implying the opposite, they no longer objects to be understood as “prosthetic body” at the same, but on the environment. The advent of wireless computers, the miniaturization of electronic components, has changed our ways of living and to grasp the time. Thereafter at each time of day, in our many trips, we want to bring the maximum number of functional capabilities and emotional. Create a conduit that transposes from one universe to another, our specific environment.

The notion of “object that is world is in this sense, a hypertrophy of the concept of comfort, as subjective as it is. In the past, this notion was less dispersed as far as it was felt that the absolute comfort was a priori in the house. Today, we search all over the bubble of individual comfort, whatever the situations, odors, light, information, relationships that we have with the environment.

Then, the ability to hyperactive customize the environment is somewhat paradoxical. By the time you create more communities of people around ideas or about belongings, musical movements, artistic and political, where, to relax, meet on all platforms seek collective and elective, to be or become equal, although each which seeks, nevertheless, be different. Because of the overall taste of the universal, all tend to dissolve; there are no major differences in modern cities, in fact not very different. In all major capitals of the world shops, museums, restaurants and trendy bars, airports (which make us forget what country we are), all places of contemporary change are influenced by a total uniformity. The tendency to want to recreate the universe itself in this way the mark will be singled out in a universe or a global city.

Furthermore, the concept of “micro universe” also induces the idea of the multi functional everyday objects. With the same mater air given the same amount of space, the object can provide more services hereinafter, often more consistent, to a given function. As a result, of the decrease in weight, their consistency, their increasing functionality, in order to allow greater freedom of action. On the same day, at the same instant, the current notion of time is condensed through our objects. A sofa becomes larger to serve as a bed around which are organized tables to eat, work. You can also integrate lights and remote controls. Mute in a product “amalgamation”, concentrating four or five times, I saw these in a single. Allows experimentation, lived, possibly not due to more and more time, but intensity. Rime effectively and responds to the desire to liberalize our moments of VI such. We went from a stage where each function has been raised marks or symbols for an object to another where the concept of objects to respond to several actions. Free space without getting rid of tools marks a new process of economy and autonomy. The objects are more modern, less material and less energy, give rise to the idea of mental economy before the trade. In this sense, the object provides the most service, the more we exempt from spatial constraints. When the object becomes a world.
