A building designed by Mies van der Rohe nearly 70 years ago is under construction at Indiana University in the USA, over 50 years after the 20th-century architect's death.
The steel and glass two-storey building is being built as part of the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design on the university's Bloomington campus.
Architecture firm Thomas Phifer and Partners is overseeing the project and adapted Van der Rohe's 1950s design for contemporary use.
Mies van der Rohe designed the building in 1952
Called the Mies Building for the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, the two-storey building will encompass 10,000 square feet (929 square metres).
Its rectangular form will be 60 foot wide (18 metres) and 140 foot long (43 metres) with slim white-painted steel frames holding 10-foot-wide (three-metres) panes of glass. The lower level will mainly open to the air at the sides, with a square courtyard in the centre that rises up to the first floor.

Van der Rohe, one of the 20th century's best known modernist architects who designed the Seagram Tower and the Barcelona Pavilion, drew up the plans in 1952 for Indiana University's (IU) Alpha Theta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi.
The project was abandoned and the unbuilt design was forgotten about for decades until former IU student and fraternity member Sidney Eskenazi told IU president Michael A McRobbie about the drawings.
