Neoclassicist architecture revives the formal language of Greek and Roman antiquity — symmetry, columns, pediments, and proportional systems derived from classical orders. The catalogue holds 3 Neoclassicist buildings, including two early works by Mies van der Rohe in Potsdam.
Villa Urbig and House Riehl reveal Mies working through classical tradition before his radical break toward glass and steel. These houses use symmetry, pitched roofs, and stone facades — a domestic restraint that makes them revelatory in the context of what came after.
