Regular Or Super

Regular Or Super

In 1967 the world famous architect Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) designed a simple gas station near Montreal. He was near the end of a career that had spanned more than six decades, which included the design of the Seagram Building in New York, the Lake Shore Apartment Buildings in Chicago, and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. The story of the gas station serves as the point of departure for regular or super, which examines Van der Rohe's entire body of work (more than 70 buildings) and his sparse style that reflects oft-repeated adage, "less is more."
