The Farnsworth House

Yesterday, I went on a field trip with my fellow MFA-ers to Plano, Illinois to visit the Mies van der Rohe-designed Farnsworth House. You have to visit to get the full effect but I just wanted to share how beautiful the fall colors were up against the stark white of the house.

Despite the rain, it really was a great day and I'm glad I got to see such a cool piece of architecture/history in the flesh (errr, in the steel).

Here's some pics from the Web site. I would have taken my own but I'm lazy and didn't want to lug my camera around all day. If you have a car, just visit. It's only an hour and a half away and well worth the trip.
