Join the Mies Society in recognition of Ludwig Karl Hilberseimer (1885-1967), the German architect and urban planner best known for his ties to the Bauhaus and to Mies van der Rohe. At Illinois Tech, he developed a universal, adaptable system which planned for the darkest day of the year (December 21, “Hilbs’ Day”) in order to produce environments with as much light as possible.
