Description

It is said that the excellence of 860-880 Lake Shore Drive lies in the sensitive proportions of the facade. But little is known about them. The close analysis of the dimensions in the drawings derived that first there was a doublesquare in common in the three kinds of grids in the facade, made by columns, spandrels, mullions, and casings of windows, second there was Golden Proportion in the relationship of width to height in the windows. Taking account of the similarity between the three grids, and the close geometrical relationship between a doublesquare and a Golden Rectangle and so on, we can conclude that Mies used doublesquares and Golden Proportion to decide the sensitive proportions.
