Outline of Final Research Achievements

I performed Geometric analysis on architectures by Mies van der Rohe in his Berlin days to clarify his design method.
Aspect ratios of whole frame are such as 1.5 or 1.66 that shows simple integer ratio. Sub-frame aspect ratios are either 1.0 or 2.0, square or double-square. A whole frame nests a number of sub-frames leading to the center of the building. Positions of walls or windows are defined by 1.1m equally-spaced grids. Also frames perfectly correspond to the grids.
These findings explain Mies’ design method as follows; -whole frames are drawn with simple integer ratio such as 1:2 or 3:5 according to the sites where 1.1m or else square grids are drawn -positions and measurements of walls or windows are defined according to sub-frames nesting a number of square and doubled-square
