S.R. Crown Hall at IIT - " God is in the details"

"Let this building be the home of ideas and adventures. Real ideas, ideas based on reason, ideas about facts. Then the building will be of great service to our students and in the end a real contribution to our civilization. We know that it will not be easy, noble things are never easy. Experience teaches us that they are as difficult as they are rare." Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, 1956
