Slashed Shopping & a Stellar Structure
About 60 miles west of Chicago in pastoral Plano, visit the Farnsworth House, the minimalist masterpiece designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1951. The famous glass house epitomizes modernist architecture-the less is more philosophy-unprecedented in its day and a marvel still. This stellar structure of steel and floor-to-ceiling glass seemingly "floats" above the rambling Fox River and offers unsurpassed views through transparent "walls". Before returning to downtown Chicago, don't miss Chicagoland's best-kept secret: Chicago Premium Outlets, housing over 120 designer and brand-name retailers, while offering everyday savings of 25-65% from such impressive designers as Ralph Lauren, Polo, Kate Spade and Ferragamo.
