- Abstract
Many critics and historians have spoken about structure in the work of Mies van der Rohe. However, few have studied the structure from a conceptual point of view, and in comparison with the different facets developed by Mies throughout his professional career. For this reason, this article does not seek to describe or classify the structural solutions used in his work, but instead to delve deeper into Mies' thoughts on the concept of structure and how this was adjusted to his architecture, both through his professional and teaching work. The text firstly analyses the evolution of Mies' concept of structure based on his writings and introduces the term "structural architecture", which summarises his last reflections and was considered by his students and collaborators as the fundamental principle of his architecture. Secondly, the article compares two projects tutored by Mies and developed by his students; both have the same typology, a single-family house, corresponding to each of Mies' teaching periods, at the Bauhaus and IIT. The research relates these academic projects with Mies' writings and completed projects, in order to verify whether there is any convergence between the thought of Mies van der Rohe and his work as an architect and as a teacher.
