Upon approaching the recently completed “Mies van der Rohe Building” on the main campus of Indiana University (IU), one might reasonably be excused for thinking the pioneering German architect is alive and well. The “new-old” building, completed by New York’s Thomas Phifer and Partners, gives life to an unrealized and little-known Mies project for a Pi Lambda Phi fraternity house that was originally conceived in 1952. More than fulfilling a retooled program, the white steel-and-glass pavilion is a luminous billboard for the recently established Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, and contains offices and meeting rooms for faculty and staff. The 10,000 square feet of carefully executed spaces came with a substantial price tag: $10 million. Phifer’s Lazarus-like revival of the 70-year-old design will seem remarkable to some, and perhaps peculiar—even downright problematic—for others. Since the building is neither a reconstruction of a razed Mies building, like the Barcelona Pavilion, nor a refurbishment, like the one executed by David Chipperfield Architects for the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, it is difficult to shake the feeling that the Eskenazi is, at least in part, another example of nostalgia for Midcentury Modern.
