Show moreThe goal of this IPRO project is to create a realistic proposal for renovating and restoring Crown Hall to Mies Van der Rohe’s original vision while still keeping the building functional for today. By following guidelines for its new landmark status and last semester’s research on the high priority problems of the building we created a plan of restoration that is hopefully comprehensive enough to put into effect as soon as possible.
