GOLDEN PROPORTION USED IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE GROUND FLOOR PLAN OF THE BRICK COUNTRY HOUSE BY MIES VAN DER ROHE

Abstract

Mies's Brick Country House is one of his well-known five innovative works in 1920s. In my previous studies golden proportions were found in the relationships between its characteristic four long walls and so on. In this paper the analysis of its original ground floor plan exhibited at Mannheim in 1925 derived that golden proportions were found in the relationships between not only these walls, but also the outline of the drawing sheet and them. It shows that Mies made use of golden proportion.
