Geometry of Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House illuminated with red lasers
Designer Iker Gil and Luftwerk have projected a grid of red lasers across Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House to highlight the building's geometric form and its history.
The installation is the second iteration of the Geometry of Light laser-display designed by Mas Studio's Gil and Luftwerk, which was previously installed at the Barcelona Pavilion.
Its designers hope that the geometric lighting, along with a sound piece by Barcelona-based sound designer Oriol Tarragó, will help people understand the building's relationship to its site in Plano, Illinois.
Each of the lasers, which illuminated the house for three days early this month as part of the installation that coincided with the Chicago Architecture Biennial, was located to show the house's structure.
They are also placed to draw attention to three trees that were previously located on the site and the levels of five floods that have reached the house, which is built within the Fox River floodplain.
