Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze tectonic concept and environmental respond in details of The Office of Mies van der Rohe's skyscraper cases, after 1950s. In the series of skyscrapers planned by the Office of Mies van der Rohe, the inherent logic of the structure is exposed in a general vocabulary of H-shaped steel mullions on the elevation, which are manifested in a variety of materials and details. In addition, the details of high-rise buildings have changed in response to environmental issues, such as the demand for interior environmental management and machinery and service technology in the United States since the 1950s. In particular, details such as the integration of columns and service piping and the planning of air conditioners integrated into the architecture are analyzed as examples of changing details in response to environmental concerns in design. The integration and development of these tectonic concepts and plans in response to the environment can be seen as a 'Zeitgeist' that responds to the needs of the times, and could be called 'Environmental Tectonics'.
