Continuing my never-ending journey on writing about architect residences located across Chicagoland, which started with Philip Will of the architectural firm Perkins & Will back in June. It’s no surprise that a disciple of Mies van der Rohe lived in a stark, modernist home. When it was completed in 1972, architect Joseph Fujikawa had 25 years of working directly with his mentor, absorbing the lessons of the Miesian philosophy that he carried with him the rest of his life. Fujikawa’s colleagues recalled that he “wanted to be more like Mies than Mies himself.”
