Abstract

We trace an imagined path connected through Mies’ five houses. The geographical argument moves between two works in Europe and two works in America. Both worlds stay linked by an intermediate trial, his patio houses. He traveled with drawings about these houses joining them to his teaching activity in the Bauhaus and the IIT. In each one of the houses Mies intensifies and enlarges the spatial capacity of one room: the veranda. The result is a house made only from a veranda, and the housing of the sky of the metropolis will arise from this anatomy.

Keywords: Mies, veranda, house, inhabit.
